Stillwater Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Before going to Africa (obviously!) I´d like to share some pictures of my previous flights. In this case with one of my recent sales puchases, the Do228. I tried to understand her logics during a flight from East Midlands... ... over the Conneries Ponds... ... towards Nottingham. Below us is Beeston, and the green fields are the initial Boots site, where most of the worlds Ibuprofene was produced until 2001. Now it is a parking lot. In the city of Notts, just under the belly of the plane is Pennyfoot Lane, with the R&D labs where Ibu was invented. Unfortunately I did not master the Dornier good enough to show you some pubs like the https://www.visit-nottinghamshire.co.uk/food-and-drink/ye-olde-trip-to-jerusalem-p529041 , which is located basically IN the walls under the Nottingham Castle. But at least I managed to bring her back to the airport... ... and even landed her safely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev4242 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Nice shots. I've enjoyed many an ale in the Old Trip. Literally a pub in a cave. Low ceilings mean a sore head from the rock and the often the beer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I have also tested some of their hotels, but I remember the pubs and Indian restaurants as the more impressive places... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingleaf Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Wonderful trip Gerold. That beautiful Pub, however, sells way better "painkillers" than that ibuprofen and that is according to T-Bone "professional" experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he probably has also validated it! That´s what people call "Traditional Alaskan Medicine", TAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
