Okay, I think it's time to give the answer to my chemistry question from a few days ago. One person said they had found a town called Rutherford in Scotland. There is an element called rutherfordium but I can't find any record of such a town. The answer was Luton, which is contained in the element plutonium. I lived there for about 20 years so I'm surprised I never noticed that until a few months ago.

I mention it now because that's where this plane is going. The approach to Luton Airport from the East goes right over Stevenage town centre. I too am setting off for Luton now. By watching the planes in the sky, I will be able to see how far my route is deviating from a straight line.
