High speed train...

A very snowy morning on our last day of travels.

Started the day at the headquarters of Norway Airports and Air Traffic Control, then took the high speed train out to the airport. It was working this morning...and a LOT cheaper than a taxi.

Caught up with the guys we are looking to do another project with. They have cool offices where they had nice tea lights on the table and a waffle machine making nice warm waffles with rasberry jam. There was lots of chat around "if we were to go with buying your system next Friday...". I think we are in with qa good chance!

Departure was a bit delayed as it was snowing heavily. This would have shut Heathrow, but not Oslo. They had a team of aroud 12 massive snowploughs heading up and down the runway between planes keeping it clear.

When we got to the end of the runway, they had around 15 de-icing lorries, spraying 5 aircraft simultaneously before take off. A well rehearsed crew!

Got into LHR, and the Glasgow flight was over an hour late. Pesky French Air Traffic. The plan had come from Lyon, and had been delayed.

Very late in home, and ready for the weekend. Although, the Italians phoned us...so we're meeting them again on Monday...maybe some work over the weekend :(
