Thursday 15th.
Starting at home, I caught D-ACKE CRJ, EI-LRF A321 and N410DZ all on approach to LHR and D-AIXQ A350 over the top. It then clouded over, so on impulse I set off for Charlwood.
On the M23, approaching LGW I caught CN-NMN A320.
Following the excellent directions on this site, I parked in Glover’s Road Charlwood, and saw the 2 Sea Harriers plus 3 Sea Kings, then walked the extra few yards to get the pair of Sea Kings. If the 6th Sea King was here, I couldn’t see it. But happy to make 1 SHAR and 4 Sea Kings.
I then went up the A23 and into Redhill, intending to lunch at the cafe. The queue was just too long, so I just logged 17 of the 25 I could read off, and headed home.
Chinook ZH898 was then a nice capture as it followed the Thames westwards, and the day ended with 9H-VJW Global and SP-GEC G280 into Biggin Hill.
Overall a very successful day, involving my first visits to fields since lockdown, with Charlwood being genuine fields!

Hi Phil, Great news that you found the stored Sea Harrier’s and most of the Sea King’s. The sixth was up with the pair, as you walked towards them it was sitting by itself at the rear of the compound, all by itself. I do apologise if I didn’t make that clear in my first post. They may have moved it but to be honest I doubt that would have happened so quickly after my visit, but maybe… Bill

Nil for Thursday- albeit the weather was nice- but the workers were in finishing up the facia's then once done- I spent an hour in the garden doing a bit of strimming. - Today Friday- gorgeous weather again after getting home frome work- but I spent an hour planing the door in my den- after the carpet was fitted last week- then it was looking at the skies - and in the last hour two A321N's have hit the books:- TC-LTC- A321N Turkish out of DUB TF-PLA- A321N Play southbound. Also saw a Challenger 300 D-BUBI inbound LPL but not needed. Happy days Bob Update:- SE-ROL A320N of SAS northbound at 19:03

Friday was good, even though only a couple of faint trails helped. The morning started well, with my first 737Max of the day, BBJ version N702F, followed by Slovenian Govt F2000 L1-01, both OTT.
Hondajet 9H-JCE and SR22 N1724D into Biggin sandwiched my final Hop E190 F-HBLL and Gulf V VP-CER both OTT.
CS-TQY A340 out of Heathrow came next, followed by my first Ryanair Max EI-HGP and A321TC-LTC OTT, but not trailing.
Queen’s flight G-XXEB made its way along the Thames after appearing to pop in to see the golf at Royal St Georges.
I-WLFX F2000 headed for Biggin, and my second Ryanair Max EI-HEZ also hit the book.
Final frame of the day whilst watering the runner beans was Hawker F-HEME out of Biggin.
More blue skies please, and trails?

What are the reggies of the Sea Harriers please at Charlwood? It's a long drive for me but if they're needed, then I might have to wangle a work day ride over there.

Saturday morning was spent with son and grandson playing crazy golf, but at least there were the two aviation exhibits at Flamingo Park, possibly PA28 and a Hiller cab.
Live activity for the rest of the day saw BBJ N108MS and A350 F-HTYK go OTT, while A320 TS-INQ came close enough on departure from LHR, before my third Ryanair 737M, this time EI-HGO went OTT. 2 more scrapes of their 9H machines also logged; still way more than half still to go.
