Never seen the Tyne so high. Left work today to find parts of the path along the Quayside on the Newcastle side of the Swing Bridge blocked off by flood defences 😮

@ekcragg Wow, that's crazy high. I used to live just to the right, and back a bit, of your picture a long time ago. Great memories.

@vincent @ekcragg Memories eh 😀

@hall Wow! Even that wing view is a near exact memory ❤️

@vincent good old PA-28

@ekcragg I've only ever seen this on the tv show Vera, so thanks for the reminder that it's actually a real place!

@hall Very forgiving aeroplanes.

@amerpie I love that Vera shares our wonderful scenery with the world

@hall I’ve spent a good while trying to guess roughly when this photo was taken based on the state of some of the buildings 😆

@ekcragg @vincent A while ago when expanding my recently acquired wings 😜

@ekcragg @hall looking for the party boat 🤣 If I remember correctly it was next to the swing bridge.

@hall nice! That is certainly after my time. I was up there since I was 14/15 (I could fly before I was allowed to drive 😅) so that puts me around 2001… roughly. Shame NCL airport changed so much.

@hall wow, that’s so cool! My guess was about 10 years ago, so not far off

@vincent ah yes, the Tuxedo Princess with its revolving dance floor. A staple of student nights out for me. It’s been gone about 15 years now though 😳
