Somewhere over the English Channel on its way from Athens Flight BA2012, an Airbus A319, Makes it's way towards RNAS Culdrose in Cornwall. The Firefly is a very special plane carrying a very special cargo. The Olympic flame which will herald the start of the 2012 Games in London.......

Great shots Alan - but to me, a Firefly is either an old steam engine (not too good with the 'kettles'!) or the Fairey Firefly!

Cheers
