Heard some stuff from airfield ops the other day about foxes.
Seems like they are a regular visitor to the airfield.
Along with badgers and rabbits and everything else the countryside offers.
As always it's the birds that cause the trouble.
I suffer from paranoid amnesia. I can't remember who I don't trust.

When I went late one summer evening to Luton I saw lots of hares jumping about on the grass between the taxy and runway. The only time I've ever seen hares in my life

I didn't know that you came from a bald family Garry.
Maybe the Luton foxes had trotted off to Manchester while you were there.

I was listening to ATC a LGW one night years ago and a pilot reported a fox on the taxiway without any nav lights
If God had meant us to fly, he would have given us tickets.
