The team had been performing in Weston-super-Mare and were on their way back to Bristol airport.

The 737 was heading for Cardiff at 2,500ft when the Red Arrows were mistakenly instructed by air traffic controllers in Bristol to climb to the same height.

The controllers had not been informed by their colleagues in Cardiff about the approaching passenger plane.

Linux takes a seat on Qantas' new superjumbo jet

(Computerworld Australia) Linux will be a passenger in every seat on Qantas' Airbus A380s airplanes. All of the airline's superjumbos -- the first of which will commence flying next week -- will have their in-flight entertainment systems powered by the operating system.

The A380 is the first Qantas aircraft to utilize the Panasonic eX2 Inflight Entertainment System (IFE).

All of Panasonic's X Series of IFE systems run on Linux.

And Qantas is not limiting it to the A380s. The systems will be featured in Qantas' next batch of B737-800 aircraft, due in March 2009 and that will use the Panasonic eFX system, for both its business- and economy-class customers; its B787 or Dreamliner aircraft also due next year; and on some of its older but soon-to-be revamped B767-300 fleet.
