Yes, saw 3 TAP almost in formation heading NE a couple of hours ago. Blank day yesterday but 4 so far today, caught up with G-ZBKA heading for Austin again (didn't know BA flew there) and 3 biz, N111HZ F.7X and N60XC and 9H-VJJ GLEX.
Off on a Mediterranean cruise tomorrow, will have my I-pad with me but not sure whether the ship has Wifi. No spotting planned other than OTT, but will report anything of interest if I can.

Have a great holiday Jerry.
Lots of CS and PH OTTs today and apparently there's a full on Frog ATC strike tomorrow so should be plenty more around. I too saw three TAPs go over in rapid succession this morning and have noted lots of them throughout the day including TQD, TNI, TNU, TNP, TNV, TNM, TTD, TTU, TTC, TTH
Just four in the book, but two of those are thanks to our gastropod scoffing cousins
N800JH GLF5 PH-HSM B737 TRANSAVIA CS-TNV A320 TAP OE-IPD CL60
N361UP is heading this way, one of just a few UPS I need but will be too dark by the time it goes over

Hi Jerry, Good luck with the cruise mate... Wifi will be there - but normally at an outrageous price... Can't understand why they stripe clients at such a penal rate... I just did a river cruise up the Danube with Viking - and they give FREE wifi which was a real bonus, got me about 150 pots during the week!!! Hope the weather is good for you mate. Cheers. Bill

Cheers everyone
Not a spotting trip, but very successful nonetheless! Another 30 or so new today - the best one being my first Bhutan registered aircraft-
A5-JSW A.319 Druk Air
The only annoyances are the military aircraft that I can't read! A C.130 (presumably Singapore AF) crossed just to the north of Changi today, but couldn't quite make it out. Add that to a row of 9 C.130s in Bangkok at the weekend.., Oh well, doing amazingly well for civil!
Cheers EDIT- actually my second A5- after A5-BAA PC.12 at Hurn!

Suppose winter is starting to kick in now- and will really kick in next Saturday when the clocks change. Go into work in the dark and dark at four o'clock in the evening. Happy Days Bob Morning Bob, Is that next weekend? bloody hell,that's come round quick,nothing to see down sarf either mate other than lots of clag,still the Royals are at home this afternoon (Charlton Athletic) so something to look forward to.Have a good weekend mate.
