A quarter of the year gone already, and here we are all shivering when a week ago we were walking around in shorts and t-shirts, the vagaries of the wonderful British weather which I suppose we should all be used to by now. But April got me off to a decent start with a scrape and three frames so I'm not complaining

Half decent day weather wise- sun then cloud and same again- day was started with a quick visit to my viewing spot in Runcorn which overlooks the airport in the distance to see the G1VSP- then in between shopping, visiting the in laws I managed to add the following nine to the months total:- N435HC- G1VSP at LPL ER-AXA- A320 Air Moldova west to DUB 9V-SKU- A380 Singapore westbound 2-JETS- E145 outbound from LPL YR-JOY- A320 Hi-Sky eastbound out of DUB TC-SEP- 737-8 Sun Xpress south east bound out of DUB F-GTAQ- A321 Air France southbound 9H-RMD- C560XLS southbound out of DUB PH-NXI- E195-2 KLM Cityhopper eastbound out of DUB All I can say is God bless Dublin today- Also Dave that late equaliser could be priceless for the Royals- great result. Fingers crossed for my blue boys at West Ham today, albeit not confident. Happy Days Bob

What a day @ home yesterday,we had everything and that's not just the weather either.

Doesn't matter if they played crap the first half Dave, a point's a point- I will be well happy if we get a similar result today at boiled ham, I told you to keep the faith regarding the weather- and it turned up trumps for you yesterday in the land of the plenty, and two of Wellesbourne's finest going in the book as well. The Eastern was a nice catch. Five in the book so far for me as well today. Happy Days Bob

Dave, I potted both those Cessnas at Wellesbourne in January 2016 which was the last time I visited. If I recall, I did a bit of a road trip with Enstone, Kidlington and Bicester.

Hi Dave, Yeah they are usually parked up by the Vulcan- just seemed a bit strange being down your neck of the woods- but as you say a cops a cop. Told you I wasn't confident about today- although we played a lot better imo- we were undone by a couple of bad refereeing decisions a sending off following an ignored foul on one of our players by Mr Oliver. But its only a game- move on- but maybe asking you to get me a ticket next year the way things are going. On a brighter note managed five more in an half hour spell at the end of the game- so things aren't that bad. Happy Days Bob

23 frames and 2 scrapes for me in April so far Bob, certainly a great start like you but I can't see anything hitting the books today unless it's flying below what looks like a 500ft cloudbase

I was a little hasty putting a log in for the 2nd. As I was getting tea ready around I noticed blue sky again, so tea was delayed and another 3 went in the book

Sunday 3rd An early start today for Manchester, by the time I arrived it was trying to rain and then snow but it soon cleared up and became bright for most of the day with a few clouds in the afternoon. A couple were also got after I returned home. The Aussie C-17A was a bonus
EI-HEY .. B737-8 MAX .. 62307 .. Ryanair F-GTAQ .. A321 .. 3399 .. Air France F-HTVG .. B737-800 .. 62156 .. Transavia France N206QS .. Challenger 650 .. 6055 N558GA ..

I called at the Boat Museum at Ellesmere Port on the way home to get SP-ESH B737 Enter Air on the ground at Liverpool, having seen HA-LZL A321N Wizz Air climbing out from Manchester

Had to happen I suppose- Monday was a blank day, as was the majority of Tuesday until between half four and five a bit of blue appeared and allowed three in the book:_ TC-LLK- 787-9 Turkish westbound G-FABO- CL604 southbound N550BG- G550 inbound LPL Then it clouded over again and that was it. Good win for the Royals last night Dave. Everything crossed for my blues against Burnley tonight. Happy Days Bob

Mixture of the odd bit of blue and cloud cover, so it was a couple of hours in the garden doing a bit of fence painting and some aviation books clerical, but still managed three after missing the JAL 787. G-TUKF- 737-8 Tui out of MAN D-AEWV- A320 Eurowings east out of DUB N797CX- C750 inbound LPL Not going to mention the football, but despite playing well imo we still got beat- not looking good. Weather Thursday- absolutely chucking it down as I type this. Happy Days Bob
