Tough day Thursday as well as being very cold and throwing it down, and when the latter rain stopped, the wind was moving the clouds so fast that when anything did go over through the odd bit of blue sky- they were not trailing- so the majority of the day was aircraft clerical stuff- but did manage a couple for the book:- C-GOIO- A321NX Air Transat westbound 9H-ZFX- Legacy 550 westbound Friday it is wall to wall blue (for the time being) but nothing of note so far. Happy Days Bob

Thursday started in unusual manner, making 2 Ethiopian A350s in rapid succession.
ET-AYA OTT ET-AYB into LHR
then some nice gap fillers, all OTT G-TUMC B737m EC-NLY A321 N630UP B747 A7-BFY B777 9H-HUB A320
then at last! my final Air France B777 F-GZNO
and whilst waiting for the AF, Austrian Dash8 OE-LGN droned overhead
to close proceedings SAS A320 EI-SIM cloud hopped into LHR.
The Thai B787 into LHR will have to wait for another day as I was cooking dinner for my beloved, who is still suffering from covid.

Good start to Friday with a rapid 6 going into the book before dinner- then I decided to cut the lawn and do a little bit of digging in the garden, before I took my beloved to the Health centre to pick her prescriptions up, then a further two were added out of Aintree. D-AEUD- A320 Eurowings inbound BHX EI-HMV- 737M Ryanair eastbound to ATH G-LDGB- DA40 ILS approach x 2 LPL 9V-SKY- A380 Singapore westbound EJ-JMMM- Global west to DUB EI-HBB- CR1000 Hibernian ops for Iberia Regional inbound LPL with Catalan RL Team G-RAYN- A109 south low level route from Aintree G-FAMJ- A109 as G-RAYN Saturday is a nice start to Grand National Day- so it will be keeping an eye out for helicopters inbound Aintree and a few needed are expected at LPL during the morning and afternoon.

Another difficult day yesterday spotting wise with quite a few being missed due to the weather,however all was not lost as three made the book.
CS-DVH Cessna 525B Citationjet 3 D-CHRT Phenom 300 9H-GPS Cessna 560XL Citation
This morning at the moment is wall to wall sunshine and although nothing is trailing,the visibility is excellent with 5 hitting the book already including Fly Dubai's latest MAX A6-FMY
Football this afternoon with a massive home game against Cardiff,three points and I think we will be safe from the dreaded drop.

Happy Days Bob Thanks for the update Bob,we went to the game today but as usual Reading around junction 11 of the M4 is a shithole to put it mildly,took us nearly 45 mins to get across it and upto the stadium,also whilst we were crawling along the guy on Radio Berkshire stated that he hoped that people remembered that parking in the disused greyhound stadium was pre-paid online,this is the second time that they have done this season and each time we didn't know about even though we are season ticket holders and we weren't the only ones that got turned away and being so close to kick off time there wasn't anywhere to park legally so we headed home and listened to the game on the radio,a suitable email will be winging it's way to Reading Football Club shortly.

Saturday was half and half weather wise- hailstones when I was coming out of the bookies after putting on our National bets but blue skies later but cold- but a half decent 7 was added to the total helped with a couple of LPL inbounds and Aintree helicopter traffic. D-CLIK- C525 C4 inbound LPL OK-OZZ- PC12 inbound LPL (1299 x LY-LNG) TC-SEZ- 737-8 Sun Express west to DUB G-VIVE- A109 south out of Aintree G-CKPS- AS350 south out of Aintree YL-LDI- A320 Smart Lynx southbound LN-ENM- 737-8 NAS northbound Dave I think that car park was the one me and my beloved parked on when we went to see a game at the Madjeski a few years ago- if it was virtually next to the ground- it was free then. We are the same up here at Goodison- it is residents parking only even though half the residents don't have cars- apart from the odd spot which are free but soon get taken up. The only spots to park are either in the school or at various garages in the area for £10 or £15. Pain in the backside but I suppose its cheap if you have to get the train and a couple of buses. Keep the faith. Sunday is currently wall to wall sunshine Happy Days Bob

The goods news Bob is that the new railway station @ Green Park is due to open this summer (about a 10 minute walk to the stadium),my plan then is to leave my car @ either Bramley or Mortimer station (on the Basingstoke to Reading line) and catch the train,I think that would be a much cheaper option and also my stress levels wouldn't get so high.
Anyway back to the aircraft and yesterday was a decent day especially late afternoon/early evening.

It was a pity about the ATR Dave - I followed it all the way down from Scotland- but when it got to our area the high cloud cover down to Stoke where the blue skies reappeared basically gave me no chance of seeing it- never mind glad you saw it over Reading. Happy Days Bob

Managed just one yesterday Tuesday inbound MAN before the runway changed again sadly and the rain came- and did it!!!! So with LPL on 09 as well nothing to see so it was aircraft clerical and chilling in my den. EI-GEH- CR9 SAS Today Wednesday is much the same although it is not raining- but lots of dark clouds overhead, but looks like LPL has changed runways again- so fingers crossed- may see something.

Thursday was my birthday so before the cards and friends with presents came to our house and whilst there was a bit of blue stuff I managed to add the following three to the log:- 04-4130- C17 USAF Eastbound 9V-SKV- A380 Singapore westbound TF-PPB- A320N Play southbound Good Friday and its overcast but buoyed by the news of the LAA Rally at Popham albeit a smaller version of the usual event- I am looking out of my man cave window with hope something may go into LPL.
