Bill, 86-0160 is in Poland atm. Bob Hi Bob, Well we found it hard to read it off at the time, so one of the guys took a photo which we’ve all looked at and unanimously think that 86-0160 is the bird in question. Below is the photo. It takes a bit of enlargement but if it’s not 160, what do you think it could be? Hope this comes out… Bill

Early start again Sunday- body clock still has me in work mode- anyway the weather was poor most of the day- but the early start allowed me to add one to the total:- YL-CSI- A220 Air Baltic inbound DUB Shopping in the afternoon, and my beloved blues did not let me down getting beat 1-0 by Wolves- fearing for them now- Frank Lampard is keeping upbeat about it- with 12 games to go- but the next few games don't give me a lot of hope:- Newcastle H, Palace A FA Cup, West Ham A, Man U H, Liverpool A, Chelsea H. Oh Wo is me On a brighter note its a lovely morning up here in Cheshire- can't beat this retirement. Happy Days Bob

Tuesday started off ok with one hitting the books- but a wind change and runway change at LPL scuppered any chance of seeing a Swiss Falcon 50 HB-IGV. Then it went overcast with high clouds, but no real chance of seeing anything elese.:- JA863J- 787-9 JAL to Heathrow Same today Wednesday weather wise but looks like the runway has changed again at LPL.

Easy report Wednesday apart from one small bit of blue sky which a needed JAL 787-9 decided to avoid- it was overcast, and later rained- so a nil return for the first time after 12 consecutive positive days. So it was BICR underlining. But today Thursday- has started off nice and have added one to the list. But it is shopping this morning. The forecast for the weekend is looking good though peeps.

We're off down to Plymouth for a few days, glorious sunshine here at home and the forecast for Plymouth looks good too so hoping for a few Continental inbound OTTs that are usually way too far south.

Cleared up slightly in the morning, made two before going to do big shop with my beloved which took about three hours and when we got in it was wall to wall clag. Cleared up slightly after 14:00 which allowed one more to hit the books- taking me to 7 for the week (One a day). Then managed a couple of hours underling in my BICR 30 pages done. PH-NXA- E195 KLM Cityhopper west to DUB TF-PPA- A320N Play southbound G-HSVI- C172 into Hawarden from Halfpenny Green Then my beloved blues got a well earned and much needed 10 man victory against the Geordies at Goodison. So a good day all round. Sat in my den this morning Friday and it is as predicted Foggy- thankfully the Air Malta due in LPL 9H-VUM is not needed so I can relax- apparently the sun is due when the fog lifts so fingers crossed. Happy Days Bob

Great day for you Dave in the land of the plenty- glad you pointed out the Icelandair Max- as I had ignored it thinking I had already seen it. The fog has lifted up here in Cheshire and it is wall to wall blue skies as predicted- only problem is nothing of note is bothering to head this way, although I tell a lie I have just copped a C5 heading eastbound as we speak- so at least I am off the mark for today. Onwards and Upwards Bob

Wall sunshine up here in Cheshire all day- everything trailing, but sadly nothing apart from the below two to frighten the scorer. So it was lawn cutting and a bit of other garden TLC as well as BICR underlining (104 pages done), in between checking my computer for anything heading my way. 85-0003- C5M USAF eastbound ET-APU- 777F Ethiopian westbound There were a few other Mil aircraft which went through the zone, CAF C130, USN C40 and BAF A400 but none which was needed. Lovely morning again as I type this. Manchester on a RW 05 so most stuff can be see on approach, but looking at what's due- nothing needed. Anyway enough of my rant-have a nice spotting day everyone- and Dave C'mon you Royals. Happy Days Bob
