There's another bird flirting with death just prior to touch down.

With a bit of luck we'll see the bird population increase again once we've run out of fossil fuels. Many of us will be able to enjoy a very weird and chaotic future. Let's just hope that there will be at least on mummy bird and one daddy bird left to begin a new bird population.

Thanks for sharing WF 😀

Really interesting to hear the comms between ground and plane

Wallasy that is mentioned is a town near Liverpool, about 45 miles South West of Manchester

They probably referred to the Wallasy VOR then, which is used for quite a few departures / arrivals for airports nearby....according to the charts at least.

Like you said, it was quite interesting to hear the comms between the two.

Great find Welsh. Simon Lowe, filmmaker, has many more good videos on flightlevel350.com, though not as intense as this one but still very professionally done.
