Over the voyeur, over the builder and the destroyer

This morning, on the way to work, I saw a Chinook flying overhead. This made me happy.

Any world which contains such deeply ludicrous and unlikely vehicles is all right by me.

They are actually quite a common sight on the way to work. I assume this is because the route to work goes past RAF Benson.

Really ? How odd. I've never seen one in my (nearly) five years of commuting along that route. And I do look at the sky, because I see lots of Red Kites (http://www.radnage.uk.net/html/red_kites.html).

I think I saw a red kite in East Lothian a couple of times recently. I'm not entirely sure because I was driving and only got a very brief glimpse - it could have been a buzzard, but I think it looked more like a kite.

I definitely see more buzzards than I used to, as well. This is a good thing.

They (or other military helicopters), can quite often be seen hovering stationary over open land near RAF Benson. I presume they are doing training.

Possibly they're looking for red kites.

But it also includes the Fiat Multipla. :(

Sure, Multiplas are bloody ugly. But they're ugly in a bug-eyed alien, help-I'm-made-out-of-two-completely-different-cars sort of way. You could become quite fond of one :)

No, I don't think I could. You might. But you're strange.

Now I have Tonight We Fly in my head :-) Thank you!

(Ummm. That's not sarcastic. In case you were wondering.)

Well spotted :)
