Another day with 100% cloud cover, but just managed to see the only two frames I think were LHR visitors today, VQ-BHX 738 Aeroflot SU2571 and PK-GIK 773 Garuda GA87.

Went up to Biggin Hill to catch G650 PP-IZB on my way to my match yesterday, so avoided a first blank day of this year.

Didn’t even see an airliner today, but caught 3 Biggin Hill arrivals, C560 CS-DXI, Lear CS-TFO and DA62 PH-VCC.

Have forgotten what blue sky looks like. Just one for me today, VP-BSB 738 Aeroflot out of LHR on the SU262.

Unlike Jerry we did have some blue sky albeit not a lot but it did enable the following to be logged:
N561SK Gulfstream 550 (outbound Farnborough) LX-ABC Global Express XRS SE-RTB B737-8MAX Norwegian PP-VVV Legacy

Best day weather wise for ages but too many domestic duties led to only two being logged:
EC-MTT A330 Wamos Air (operates for Norwegian) T7-WMB Global Express 6000 (outbound Farnborough)

Evening Guys.
First day out spotting for this year - with Dave (Basing) and Viv (Linda) - at Heathrow. Fortunately, the weather was lovely, if cold, but the spotting could have been much better - but hey-ho... Here's the log for the day.
Heathrow: A6-BLF (F) B787-9 Etihad SP-RSA (S) B737 Ryanair Sun (OTT) UR-GOC (S) B777 Ukraine Intl (OTT) C-FTYI (S) B737 Air Transat (OTT) LN-LNS (S) B787-9 NAX (OTT) ET-AVE (S) A350 Ethiopian
Northolt: Zilch....
Fairoaks: G-PDGF (F) Squirrel PDG (down from Inverness, due out by 11am, 9th Jan)
Little bit disappointing, but I'm now up to 22 frames and 14 scrapes for the year, so far.
Good luck boys.
Bill

hi, first blue stuff since 3rd,
N645GT B767. LN-LNP B789. 15+04 A320. EI-FZA B738. N851FD B777. G-OICU LJ45.
not a bad re-start, missed a few which were not trailing, including TSC040 which from the mode-s shows a B738?...

Made the most of the blue skies this morning before visiting relatives. SP-LMB LOT E190 into LCY, Ryanair EI-GXN OTT and SAS A330 LN-RKO OTT. Something in the book every day so far this year!

Yes, first blue day of the year, but unfortunately not much in the sky worth watching. Made OY-OLD F.8x out of FAB, first biz of the year and LHR visitors VH-ZNG 789 Qantas, CN-MAX 738MAX Royal Air Maroc and PK-GIJ 773 Garuda. OE-ING easyJet Europe was a scrape, but I have rather lost the will to live with these.

First persistent blue skies in ages, mainly seeing a few hitherto elusive old airliners come by. the Typhoons trailing in tandem probably the highlight.

10.20z Just made my last US Navy C-40A 165833 trailing well Southbound over Cardiff. It's been avoiding me for ages going up and down the centre of the UK.
Off to Mildenhall shortly for a couple of nights, chasing one of my last few KC-10s (86-0038).
Looks like I shall miss (probably) my last chance to see the JASDF B747s - due in Heathrow tomorrow morning.

Working in Wincanton and Yeovil today made it possible for a quick nip into Yeovilton where I was lucky and made two Wildcats, ZZ405 and ZZ414. I need just 7 now.

Finally off the mark for the year with one today:

Heading over to LHR tomorrow for the Japanese 747s, need 20-1102.
Nice catches, Bob & Graham!
