VH-KDK Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Approaching Liverpool John Lennon Airport. Passing over the Silver Jubilee Bridge and the Runcorn Railway Bridge that span the River Mersey at the Runcorn Gap between Runcorn and WIdnes. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumbypickett Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Great stuff KDK you haven't lost your touch. This looks nothing like the Mersey river heading into Devonport. We don't know big down hear. But we do have 2 heads. cheers Gumby 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 The bridge shows that you don´t even need a ferry cross that river. Good to get some more geographical education from the former life of our southern Aussies, I love that! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if they have cleaned it up but you almost used to be able to walk across the Mersey as it was so polluted. Plenty of good trout fishing in the Tasmanian Mersey, brown and rainbow but only blind mullet in the other Mersey. Two heads means four eyes to see all the picturesque scenery you have down there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper31 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Wonderful image! What aircraft is that? At first, I thought a Connie due to the tail, but then I noticed the overhead wings. Nice looking bridge too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is interesting to see the comparisons of the places down here named after the old country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know us older types would probably know and especially after a sad event in 1958.

BTW, the bridge would be even more thrilling if one flew underneath it. Preferably with a yellow plane… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
