Looking forward to the boat trip to see the carrier tomorrow!

It was a bit bumpy today Phil leaving the harbour but the water around the carrier was very calm. The weathermen got it right for a change with a good break in the cloud and winds between 1200 and 1600. The ferry does a clockwise round the carrier and then an anti clockwise so that people on both sides get a good view for photos. I'm not a photographer and can't get my head round why all the photographers all tried to push their way from starboard to port when they must have had zillions of photos already! Anyhow it was worth the drive though the murk from Chippenham. Only 2 ships in Pompey - one Spanish and the other US - hangar doors firmly shut and no choppers to be seen. Cheers Keith

Visited the US carrier yesterday morning. An wxcellebt trip- as Keith states above, we did the usual clockwise then anti-clockwise orbits. Everything on deck was seen, plus a Hawkeye below deck. Going by the list being pieced together on FC, I needed 29 out of the 46 seen. Quite a few of the F-18s and a SeaHawk were seen on previous carrier visits, however still very worthwhile and these carriers are always great to see!
Next week, I’ll probably pay yet another visit to Heathrow, and then it’s the Wittering visit on Wednesday!

Evening
Home office today and between calls managed a few:-
G-VTOM A330 Virgin - Delivery flight in to Heathrow G-TUML B737 TUI coasting out D-AFAM Global out of Farnborough
Scrapes
2-CLRK Eclipse seen as N8453TE at the Farnborough Air Show 2014 G-OJFA PC-12 which i logged as LX-NEW while she was parked at Benbridge Aug 2013
Have to say we are going to miss the carrier when she leaves but it will be great to get our beach back to just a few for our evening walk 😂

Always good to have a European break and make a few on the side. Just been told that I'm off to Lucca in Northern Italy for a 2-3 day work do in mid January so hoping for a few at Pisa where I'll be flying into/out of.
Four frames for me yesterday including Ryan's latest chariot way over to my west on her way to much warmer climes.

It was only a couple of days ago that I mentioned I only needed 9H-VVD to clear the current Malta Air fleet and shiver me timbers, there she blew yesterday routing PSA-DUB and went over to my north. The A400 went right over me as I was driving back from Andover and I believe went into BZZ

Great news Trev. Wish her well and a speedy recovery…
4 weeks off her feet will mean a lot of work for you chum… You’ll need a spotting trip after that….
Best of luck mate.
