Morning all, lovely day here, made 2 already and I've only been up 90 minutes. Made PH-HSJ (thanks to the Freddo's I'd imagine) B738 of Transavia, and EC-MDK A320SL of Iberia out of LHR. Had some nice bits on my radar before I woke up 235 08:28:59 01:54 91-00516 AE1208 United States Army BE20 RC-12N Huron 243 08:31:29 03:49 N311AG A34A8F Getty Gordon P B721 Boeing 727-17 385 10:02:27 00:01 ZJ649 43C5BE QinetiQ AJET Dassault-Breguet Alpha Jet

Just panning around on FR24 & PP and see an A330 on test reg flying around the bay of Biscay, F-WWYQ destined to become LV-FVI Aerolineas. Looked at the A330 production list and see that Delta have three on order, N822NW - N824NW, long time since they had last previous A330 delivered N821NW, 31/12/09
Cracking day here, 20 in the book now including a CS-bonanza with eight of theirs so far

Have not benefitted from the French ATC strike, don't need any of the Portuguese and Dutch routing over the UK to avoid French airspace. Also very hazy here, but just managed to make out VN-A149 777 on its LHR departure, my only pot of the day so far.

Post by RayG on Apr 8, 2015 15:43:27 GMT
Another 6 since 9.30 this morning over Cornwall. Have just been reading on the web that the strike is for 48 hours so praying for some clear skies tomorrow as well.

Bad news for travellers but great news for spotters Ray. Sitting on 23 at present and might add to that yet.

Ended up on 23, lots of stuff re-routed due to the ATCO's strike in France, most of the westbounds right OTT the house, and the eastbounds to my south. These are in order of pots....
LN-DYB B738 03-3119 C-17 OE-ILX B738 SE-RFX B738 CS-TNX A320 CS-TMW A320 N26952 B789 G-EZWX A320 PH-HSJ B738 CS-TTS A319 CS-TTU A319 D-ABKJ B738 CS-TNQ A320 CS-TTK A319 CS-TNS A320 D-AHLK B738 EC-MER A320 EC-MEA A320 D-ABMU B738 OM-HEX B738 OO-JAV B738 OO-JAF B738 PH-XRX B737
During the day, I also noted a further 3 SE's, 3 OY's, 4 PH's, 4 LN's, 8 D's and 11 CS's that would never usually route this way, none of which were needed.

Saw plenty of the rerouted flights but none needed. However caught up with EI-FIF returning to Leeds Bradford from Palma, and LHR inbounds PH-BCE 738 (have been chasing this for ages) and B-5933 A330 of Air China.
Another LHR inbound seen was TC-JBI A320 of Turkish. Don't recall this one in LHR before, but only a scrape, my records show it was seen on 01/02/11 on delivery to Istanbul for Andalujet from Shannon as N568MS!

Morning Bill, Dave & Ray
Good start here too - five in the book already, although several of the CS's that have gone across are the same frames as yesterday's. CS-TJG heading east now along south coast, but I don't need her

Early fog here has just about cleared, just made my first of the day, D-AIMM A380 on the DLH440, long trail.

Post by graham on Apr 9, 2015 12:24:56 GMT
Looks like we've all seen D-AIMM today Jerry! Going rather well here, another 12 in the book so far today. Doesn't seem to be anything like the diverted traffic as was yesterday though.

They're like London buses! You wait 3 years for one and 2 turn up at once. Made PH-CKB 744F of KLM on 16/02/2012 and have not seen it since. But today made PH-CKA returning to AMS from ORL and PH-CKC heading outbound to Viracopos, Brazil!
Also made N1415N GLEX heading east around 14.30, c/n 9202.
