Another year has almost ended, after a steaming hot summer and the wettest but mildest November on record, here we are rapidly approaching the festive season. It's so foggy this morning, I can barely see my car which is parked 20 feet away from our dining room window but at least I don't need to use it today. Stay warm everyone although our Smart meter at home seems to whizz round faster than the money dial on a petrol pump.
I had a business meeting near Weston-on-the-Green yesterday so once that was done with, I headed across to Kidlington for my first visit for at least three years. The fog had lifted a bit and a drive round netted me seven frames. I'm sure more would have been forthcoming had the fog completely lifted but I'm happy with those seven, log is on the relevant section.

Just one for me to start the month. A drive past a foggy Hurn saw A.340 G-ECLE logged at the side of the road. G-ECLF was also there but I saw that in October.
Expecting this to be a quiet December aircraft-wise!

Having Mrs B side lined and taking over as full time carer for our disabled son spotting is out, but had a bonus today!
Retuning home from our latest hospital visit via Lee on Solent seafront '276' Agusta A139 of the Irish Air Corps was traveling along the Solent.
Nice to get one in the book for December

Finally got off the mark foe December yesterday.

November was a poor month in many ways as I only made 64 frames/scrapes giving me a running total for this year of 2181.

A mostly good day on Tuesday 6th. Despite hearing the Rafale(s) on both north and southbound flights, at FL 280 there was no trail, and no glinting sun to help.

November fizzled out with nothing to add from 25th. Just 42 frames and 6 scrapes for the month. December is not looking much better but that's as much to do with being otherwise occupied as the weather.

Despite the brilliant weather here yesterday just the one potted.
N966AV A320N Avianca Costa Rica (Delivery flight TLS-KEF)
I see on FR24 that Singapore 52 (9V-SMT) SIN-MAN is diverting to Heathrow,must be due to the weather that Bob has just mentioned.

SOU completely fogged out with the ATR diverting to BRS and the KLM went on down to Burn without even attempting to land here! 😂

Sounds like a fair proportion of the country is either swathed in fog or covered in snow. It's been hovering around freezing here all day but at least we have cloudless blues skies even if there isn't much about of interest.

According to my weather station at 07.00 this morning it was -4.5 also as i type this at 16.30 sounds like the fog is rolling in at Southampton as the tower is quoting RVR’s again.
