The view from my "office"

[Ade]

Interesting view at CBR office today.

VA1220 BNE-CBR. This aircraft was due to land around 1800-ish. I was able to see the aircraft approaching for landing. It was close to the ground (close, according to this layman's definition of close. I was able to make out the rego, know what I mean), but then the aircraft took off again. Did not land as planned. Is this what is called a "failed approach to land" or something like that?

Then it went around close to Gunghalin, Bungendore, Primrose Valley and now back again on the circuit to land.

Wondering what happened when the pilot approached to land the first time.

I was at the right time at the right place type thing for this. But before I could take a pic, the flight took off again.

I immediately started to follow this flight on FR24. This is how the route looked, behind the QFLink

It did blow up a gale at about that time - maybe something to do with it?
We had something similar in London once - apparently something on the runway.

Probably. There was a lot of wind around the 1800 mark. The white ballon-type-wind-indicator thingy at the entrance of the runway (with airport to it's left) was almost horizontal I think.

Funny the stuff one remembers… helping my dad dig a large trench for the timber base reinforcing frame for a new windsock.
All pick and shovel.. those were the days..

Lovely sunset at Glenelg tonight with a few dolphins having fun but too hard to photograph

Flying BNE-MEL this afternoon, after takeoff we were warned that there would be some turbulence in the middle of the flight and sure enough the seatbelt came on and crew was seated for awhile. As it happened, there were no turbulence at all, but the timing was about the same as on the ground that you and @Ade are talking about.

Crossing Ledra Street into 'Northern Cyprus'....

This sign was somewhat ironic, given that as soon as you cross over pretty much every shop selling goods is full of counterfeit products!

Now in Yellowknife, Canada. Nil aurora on night 1, clear skies (mostly) with a warm temp of -25 degrees.
