[amsat-bb] ISS and STS -118 visual pass

Hi all, I have just had the great pleasure over here in the UK (Wales to be exact ) of a visual of the ISS closely followed by Space shuttle STS-118. Conditions were perfect and I cannot recall seeing the ISS so bright, also to make it really significant to those living in Wales I know that astronaut Dr.Daffyd Rhys Williams ( David as he is known) intended to take up with him a flag of Wales. Although he is Canadian of course, he paid a visit to Wales to trace his roots and carry out other business. The visual tonight being paired was a pleasure to watch and enjoy - Even the weather held out. Ken Eaton GW1FKY Amsat - UK Amsat NA
