The results speak for themselves, whether clement or foul, nothing showing up unless low flying. Not a trail to be seen for days, in fact noticeably rare these days.

Well, working as I was for two days in Cornwall, I didn't make a sausage. What OTTs I did see weren't needed and I didn't need anything at Castle Air. I had hoped to have the time to call in at Bodmin and Perranporth as I had calls close to both and hadn't visited either for about four years, but the traffic put paid to that. If any AFA-ers are heading to Cornwall this summer then be aware of the huge roadworks spread over an eight mile length of the A30 between Carland Cross and Chiverton Cross. It's all being dualled and the queues were beyond horrendous. As I cleared the brow at Carland Cross I could see stationary traffic three or four miles ahead of me so did a 180 and got to Redruth via Truro. Having said that, there are roadworks all around Truro, especially on the main A390 road out through Chacewater and Threemilestone.
The good news is that work is well underway on the new link road to join St Austell to the A30 at Victoria via Bugle, this doesn't affect the existing road at all but I have to say I've never seen such numbers of extremely large earthmoving equipment along that stretch, the route goes through a section of china clay country and entire white mountains of clay spoil are having to be shifted.
So, good luck to anyone contemplating a trip to the far southwest this summer...

As a consequence of a family medical emergency, we had to book a short notice trip to Australia. We live closer to Gatwick than Heathrow, so opted for Qatar Airways. Gatwick 15 June G-TUIO B787 finally hit the book before boarding A7-BCP B787 for the 6 hours to Doha.
Absolutely nothing identified during transit, then boarded A7-APG for 13 hours to Sydney. For both flights leg room and food service were good standard for economy.
Sydney 16 June Just 2 identified on arrival ZK-NHC A320 RP-C8783 A330 but only the Kiwi needed.
This was our 8th trip to Sydney, so I knew to request room 1930 at the Meriton serviced appartments in Zetland, as it gives a view of the Western runway at SYD.
As we generally aimed to arrive at the hospital about 10.30 each day, I could log(courtesy of adsb-fi) each moring, and a few afternoons.
The following were needed (having previously made good inroads into the local fleets.)
17 June VH-XNW A320 VH-MNM B737 Rex 9M-LNQ B737 Vh-AMR B350 NSW Ambulance VN-A892 A350 VH-VUI B737 VH-VEA SF340 VH-AAS B350 NSW Ambulance VH-VZK B737 ZK-NNF A321 VH-REX B737 CC-BGD B787 VH-VEF SF340 VH-VWX A321 05-5147 C17 from Hickham that had gone tech and was present throughout my stay.
More to follow.
Phil

Crikey! rugbyref you certainly managed to make the most of the spotting opportunities down under, hoping of course all's well on the medical emergency front.
