Windsor Castle and all that:
RE: Tony Wilding;114751. i thought they were supposed to follow the River ?
APPARENTLY THEY USE IT FOR GUIDANCE: But depending on direction cannot turn right at Big Ben and follow the Thames if our Monarch is in residence at Windsor Castle, despite the weather !
Was told years ago, if in emergency, planes could head for the nearby resevoirs, so far this has not been needed.
