Good start to the month, with A6-EOF A380 on the UAE212 IAH-DXB and A6-ENQ 777 on the UAE206 JFK-MXP hitting the book. Just got a distant view of the latest Turkish A321 TC-JSN inbound MAN, and noted VN-A142 777 landing at LHR earlier (service transferred from LGW), due out at 14.45, will be watching for it.

Evening Bob, I didn't know either until it sailed across my Plane Plotter screen earlier today. Someone said at Fairoaks yesterday that KLM have a new B777 too I think.

Was busy most of the day buying and then planting an apple tree to replace the one I cut down last week, but did manage to see the Arkefly PH-TFM as well as the three I mentioned earlier. Cloud is now too low for me to see LHR 27 departures, so will miss not one but two needed Air China, B-2006 777 and B-5918 A330. Also missed EC-MEH A320 of Iberia Express, but think I have seen this in a previous incarnation.

Thanks for those Jerry, it would be a decent idea to have one of those as a quick link on the top navigation bar I reckon. The Airfleets one looks quite user friendly, what do you reckon?

A decent start to April yesterday with the following four hitting the book:
A6-ENQ B777 Emirates TC-JSN A321 Turkish (seen trailing in the distance to Manchester) PH-TFM B787 Arkefly OM-HEX B737 AirExplore (summer lease with Ryanair)
Today at the moment low cloud and rain so not expecting to see much if anything today.

Even down south here near the Equator it's grey and overcast and with no signs of it breaking any time soon, looks like shopping will win today.

Christoff- Don't do it mate- It will depress you- everyone will take their kids to the Asda or similar and drive you mad. Stay at home and chill. Happy Days Bob Will take my kids with me, gonna fill them up with sugar and blue smarties and tell them Morrisons is a theme park,it's amazing how much space people give you then!!!

The weather forecast this morning predicts a bit of brightness after nine but I am not counting my chickens on that one. Then it is off to Goodison this afternoon to see Everton play the mighty Saints. They travelled up yesterday in 737-400 9H-OME. (Not needed). Return 19;45 this evening. Hope you all have a great day. COYB
Happy Days Bob COOMEEE ONN YOUU REDDSSS! Hehehe. Should be a good game :-) Hopefully Lukaku doesn't play at his best! Dylan

Morning everyone- bit overcast this morning up here in Cheshire- but at least it's not raining- yesterday was a non-event- no cops- rain all day- and after telling Christoff not to go shopping- my darling wife took me to a garden centre in Culcheth near Warrington for a look around - I think half the north west were in same. Anyway I eventually made it home and saw my only sighting of the day an Easyjet A320 into LPL. The weather forecast this morning predicts a bit of brightness after nine but I am not counting my chickens on that one. Then it is off to Goodison this afternoon to see Everton play the mighty Saints. They travelled up yesterday in 737-400 9H-OME. (Not needed). Return 19;45 this evening. Hope you all have a great day.

Happy Days Bob Bob, I do hope you refused to hold her hand ,said you were bored and can we go home now...

Got my tickets for this
Despite being born round the corner from Highbury and a family full of Gooners, I have a season ticket at Reading.
Cant really lose.
Will have a good day out with a few bevvies whatever.
By the way my only cop today was N404TC going into LHR this morning.
Regards Mick
