Five months down, seven to go, this year's once again whizzing by at an alarming rate of knots. At least the awful weather of March and April is well behind us, here in Devizes we've had three weeks worth of sunshine with a similar outlook for another ten days or so.

Last couple of days of May were miserable, very low non moving cloud. June has perked up but I've been largely tied up with other things so have to be happy with what I've got on board. Friday I headed to Manchester where my son's band had a headline gig at Gullivers (decent little venue and boozer), but plans to get up there early and pop into Barton and/or the Airpark were scuppered by traffic (train strike, and we also found out Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay, and Elton John were all playing in Manchester that night, now that's serious competition! On the other hand a lot of Mancs were probably already headed south)

A good day at home yesterday, I've no idea where all the German GA came from, but one by one they coasted across and there's already been another one this morning. Three gliders as well that came up from Kingston Deverill although one was a scrape.

A bit of a (pleasant) surprise to see the two Air Caraibes A350s hereabouts. Missed out on a few as well due to haze and sun, notably two Hercs (Italian AF, and USAF) Nice to see and hear one of the Strikemasters team (G-RSAF), such a distinctive sound.

That's some daily haul there Deke!! I had a good day too, but not as good as yours...;0) Certainly a day for Cessna Biz Jets all of which came east. The LATAM 763 was a great frame, clearly trailing about 15 miles to my south. Three further gliders too, a large shoal of which drifted up from Kingston Deverill and Keevil and surrounded Devizes for half an hour.

Another decent day at home plugging a gap or two. We had the German GA contingent a few days ago, today was the turn of the Dutch with three GA coming over heading east. Not sure where they came from, possibly Staverton? I potted two, but had seen the Pioneer before.

Friday 9th I caught Ryanair EI-IHP and Wizz 9H-WAE both OTT, and despite LHR still being on 09s, China Southern A350 B-320S fortunately went into the hold and was caught over East London.
Saturday 10th, I caught G-ZBLE inbound LHR to clear my BA fleet………until the latest A350 was delivered just hours later! Another Ryanair EI-IFS trailed nicely. Who knows how many of their Max I need know (at least 2)? Yet another Net Jets visiting Biggin Hill N761QS was needed.
Sunday’s pots were Global N265HT into Biggin and Air France A220 F-HZUY into LHR before the weather disrupted proceedings in West London.
