Plane Days

Synopsis

Old friends. Young friends. Lovers and loners. They all wait, hoping, to see something they've never seen before.

Is it a Virgin? Thai? Singapore? American? They all could be another one for the book.

With a flask of tea or a bottle of wine to keep warm, every day is a new day around the perimeter fence at Heathrow. Every day is a plane day.
