Us Earthlings find ourselves halfway round our journey around the Sun, and the airshow season is upon us. Fingers crossed for clear skies for what will be the first big shows since 2019.

July started as June ended cloudy and overcast so it was shopping with my beloved and a bit of aircraft clerical- when we got back home about 17:00 bits of blue appeared and the following two hit the books getting me off the mark for July:- D-AIEM- A321NX Lufthansa west to DUB D-CAAA- C560XLS westbound Saturday morning and it is a mixture of cloud and big patches of blue- and two already in the book.

Same here Dave, woke to clear skies but all gone wrong now at 11.15 and doubtful I'll see anything today. Made two yesterday and also saw all eight Black Eagles in 2 x four ship formation over Amesbury on my way back from Salisbury. Does anyone have the reggies please?

Our favourite bar in town has a Tiny Rebel Tap Takeover this weekend, all ten keg lines featuring a brand new Tiny Rebel beer brewed especially to celebrate their tenth birthday. Six or seven are fairly run of the mill 4.5 - 6.0 ABVs but Dave the owner has three monsters on as well weighing in at between 9 and 12.5% ABV so should be a good stagger home and headache on Sunday morning.

As previously stated awoke to wall to wall blue yesterday and very quickly got a few in the book before the cloud rolled in which stayed all day with some heavy downbursts of the wet stuff.

Such an odd day yesterday, started off clear, rapidly went completely wrong with heavy showers and dark skies, then cleared up about midday and stayed decent until 5.30pm when we walked in to town to avail ourselves of a few beers and got thoroughly soaked in the process. Did manage three frames and a scrape though so considering I thought I wouldn't see a thing, more than happy with that

Graham,he first four A6-XWA-A6-XWD were seen by myself & Rob Belcher in Toulouse May 2019,we were told on the tour that there was a problem as to what Etihad wanted for seat coverings etc,etc.This was eventually sorted out but of course along came Covid so it's only just recently that they have been placed into service.

Yet another day where the actual weather was way worse than the forecast although there were a few blue bits now and again. It was good to see the second Etihad A350 in successive days, A6-XWC also crossed the Pond but took a way more northerly track so wasn't seen. Once again, this morning's forecast was for sunny intervals and light cloud yet it's overcast. I wonder how much we pay these weathermen? I appreciate they have no control over what happens but how the weather can vary so much from the forecast is beyond me.

I've been working down in Cornwall for a couple of days. I called in at Castle Air where there were five heli fuselages on pallets around the back. All were completely wrapped, so would anyone know what they are please?
In the hanger was G-ETPJ which I guess is a new addition to the ETPS fleet.

Cloudy all day up here in not so sunny Runcorn- where is the Summer? So it was a bit of gardening and aircraft clerical, before watching Sky and BoJo clinging onto power. But albeit the weather was not good- still made two:- OE-FTF- DA42 Twin Star inbound LPL ZM521- H135 Juno- approaches Chester Graham's Atlas did a few ILS approaches at LPL- but sadly it was not needed. Thursday and it is same again- but a needed German Legacy is due after 8am so fingers crossed. Happy Days Bob

Overcast all day with low cloud, but still managed a couple of LPL inbounds:- N305TC- G1V D-ANCE- Legacy 600
Woke up this morning to wall to wall blue which allowed a quick one into the book- out most of the day today so not a lot of spotting will be done.

Friday was again a hit and miss day albeit improved when I got home from Wales- Made a couple before heading off to Llangollen to visit our niece's parents-in-laws and drop off some flowers following the mother-in-laws knee operation- but did make one there. Then headed into Llangollen to have a bite to eat at our nieces shop but the Eisteddfod was on and there was not a parking spot anywhere so we told her we could not make it and headed home, via the Llangollen Aldi to do a bit of shopping- as we parked up a Merlin flew over. Once home had something to eat then cut the grass- then did a bit of spotting- and ended up making 9 two of which I added to the book whilst washing the dishes after our chippy tea:- JA845J- 787-8 JAL south to LHR HB-JRJ- Global 5500 inbound LPL EC-NLV- A321 VLG outbound MAN G-WENU-MK117 overhead Llangollen JA796A- 777 ANA south to LHR SP-ESE- 737-8 Enter Air inbound LPL D-CMHH- PC24 southbound MM62226- KC767 Italian Air Force southbound ET-AWN- A350 Ethiopian south to LHR out of DUB Saturday as I type this it is overcast and has been raining so happy that I got the grass cut.
