A cold, frosty start here but had to go out to Oxfordshire for work, got back home in the nick of time to see RAF A400 ZM417 go across to my north at no more than 1000ft

Another decent morning allowing the following to be logged:
YR-BMF B737 Blue Air N1901G Gulfstream 650ER (inbound Farnborough) OE-HNG Gulfstream 200 OE-LKD A319 Easyjet Europe EI-FED B737 (seen fleetingly between patches of blue,was ex Air Dubai and is intended for Jet Airways as VT-JTN)
Would have made another as the Avianca 120 was newish B787 N795AV,it came up from the south and at the time they were landing on 09's @ LHR,so great I thought,I will see it when it commences it's final approach,whilst in the hold they changed to 27's so I never got the chance to see it,never mind,one for another day.

Graham's A400 ZM417 went over to Salisbury Plain for a few minutes, then climbed up to 5000ft and very kindly RTB Brize Norton right over me. Wasn't that nice of it?
Now for '416 to do the same, please.

The first 4 in the book yesterday were all military. Saudi Herc 485, then the trio of Chinooks ZK551/3/9. Not bad for a London suburb! Also saw EI-FED in a gap between clouds, then finished with Air China A330 B8386 on finals to LHR.

Cloud cleared this afternoon, allowing me to catch up on a few recent deliveries:
G-EZRN 320 easyJet MAN-GIB PH-BHN 789 KLM AMS-IAD HB-JNI 773 Swiss LAX-ZRH (edit) and a couple of late additions C-FVLU 789 Air Canada YYZ-LHR VT-NAC 788 Air India LHR-DEL
plus OO-JAY 738 Tui Belgium heading for the Canaries and LX-NMX C.525B inbound LTN. A few more Austrian-reg easyJet scrapes also.
Finally, my second San Marino chopper, T7-LLS Bell 429. Thought at first this was a misprint for T7-LSS which I had seen before so nearly didn’t bother to look for it, but no, they are different machines (LSS is a AW139).
I don’t intentionally “like” my own posts, but the like button is next to the edit button, and I have clumsy fingers!

Hi Guys,
Got to spend a couple of hours at LHR this afternoon. At 12.33 two Apache’s made an orbit north side and then transited across LHR then went south, and southwest towards Middle Wallop.
Dave (Basing) confirmed ZJ210 being one, but did anyone get the second?
Appreciate your help.
Cheers.
Bill

Cheers,

A little bout of insomnia granted me "QAF5" Qatar Amiri Flight A332 A7-HJJ in the later hours of the night - routed MERLY > KESUP (SW of St. Athan) > DVR.
I see it has been "promoted" - it used to be "QAF8".
