At last! Completed my Ryanair fleet with EI-GSC on the FR23 BVA-DUB (saw EI-SEV for the first time yesterday, but this was a scrape). Just 3 other frames today, 4X-EDE 789 El Al JFK-TLV, LHR departure EI-FPU CRJ900 SAS and GLEX N99ZM SSE at FL410.
Annoyingly missed VP-BMO 738 Aeroflot on the regular Monday SU2570/1 - someone came to the door just as it was on its take-off run!

Had intended to find a decent vantage point for at least some of the RAF100 flypast. But unbeknown to me, She Who Must Be Obeyed had arranged for us to have lunch with friends at a pub near Guildford! At least the BBMF passed low over the pub, made two Spitfires and a Hurricane.
Other frames were CS-TOM 330 TAP inbound LHR this morning (it returned in the evening) and biz OTT F-HSAS F7X and N549FX BD300. OE-ICK easyJet Europe was a scrape.
