Well, here we all are again, our planet has almost completed its journey around the Sun once more, the weather's turned wintry and Christmas appears on the horizon. Ten days off work from the 22nd, eating, drinking and making merry then back to earth with an almighty bump and financial ruin.

Evening Folks,
Earlier this evening Romanian AF C-27J 2701 went into Cardiff. It’s been on the ground for 90 minutes and hasn’t posted a departure slot as yet. Hopefully it won’t return to Bucharest sometime tomorrow, in daylight.
Good luck.
Bill

Thurs 28th OE-GWV Cessna 560 Citation XLS, Europ Star Aircraft GmbH Well the last few days of December offered rotten weather but on the up side family time and festive distractions (ie beer and whiskey, with the odd bit of fodder to help it down!) mean there's so much more to be grateful for. AVFC in the top 4 as well.
No complaints. December 45 frames (inc 10 seen in Iceland)
