Afternoon all, was out with the dogs earlier and managed to see A380 G-XLEJ on her way out west, plus Beech A36 G-LOLA which was showing on PP mobile as she went over.

Encouraged by my trip to Luton last month when I made 28, decided to make a return trip this morning. A little disappointing, made 15, will post a log on the Luton thread later tonight.

Not expecting to see much in December. No trips planned.
But got my Airlines to Europe 2016 yesterday, so should make a start on that!

Real mix of weather here (under the Biggin Hill stack) today. Long spells of clear sky when I was taking friends to hospital, then periods of full clag, interspersed with clear patches when I was home with the computer. Anyway, those identified were: Trails SE-RFU B737 TF-DAD A321 YL-LCA A320 VP-BLA B777 B2437 B747 F-GLZS A340 F-GZNJ B777 JA18KZ B747 PH-HSF B737 PH-HSI B737
The Transavias were en route to the Canaries on an unusual routing over Essex and Kent.
Non trails LZ-FLL An26
Also made HB-JVR E190 on finals for LCY, and SE-LLU B350 on finals for BQH.

Indeed Bob. we have a good friend who lives in Shap and we spoke to him yesterday via mobile phone. He hasn't a fence panel or post left intact, he's lost a load of tiles from his roof, plus some of the felt has lifted too and his wooden porch just blew away, he doesn't even know where it's gone. He's a builder by trade so can fix it all once the weather dies down but he said it's been the worst he's ever known it in 20 years of living up there.

With you all the way.. dug 2 concrete spur posts in yesterday, Jewsons are doing a brisk trade in postcrete and panels..

Hello Bob
Sorry, mate it was/is a work in progress that hasn't progressed!! We wanted to move all the foreign trip reports into one sub forum and leave the other stuff in that particular section of the forum where it was. The idea was that the new bit would have various info on it, not just the reports but best hotels for airport views, best vantage points at the airports, and so on. The new sub forum was locked whilst we were going to transfer the relevant reports and logs across, with the idea being that you guys posted on the original sub forum, and then we would transfer it across. It would stay locked so that in essence, it became a valuable source of info for anyone wanting to make such a trip but I think Jeff transferred a few over and then to be quite honest, we more or less forgot about it. Hands up, our fault Bob, I will try over the next couple of days to finish the job. Thanks for bringing it up as I had, in all honesty, forgotten about it.

Just the one today, 02-0042 737 of USAF, courtesy of PlaneFinder. EDIT and a late night extra, HA-LYD A320 of Wizz out of BRS heading for Kosice, Slovakia.
Noted N429UP 757 of UPS out of STN a few minutes ago on the UPS245 to CGN. This is the first UPS 757 I have noted in UK airspace in 6 years of using FR24 (have only one, which I saw at Calgary in the 1990s) Is this a regular service, and are any UPS 757s now based in Europe???

Chris, LY-SPF went to Lapland somewhere (Santa flights). What the ICAO code is, I have no idea!! Made PH-MFX C650 yesterday, missed a Brazilian G200 into SOU about an hour ago sadly. Hopefully can catch it on it's way out, or make time for a trip down there

Just one so far today, but a good one, XA-AHM Gulf 5 heading ESE at FL450, nice trail. Missed UR-WOG Do328 which went by at FL150 heading for BOH?
Hoping to see needed Qatar 788 A7-BCV on LHR departure due out at 21.55.
EDIT (22.25) Yes, just went overhead just below the clouds.

Missed the Austrian AF C130 8X-CZ out of St Athan this afternoon,went overhead droning loudly just as the clouds were thinning but could not spot it.
However, now that the QR15/16 evening flight at LHR is a 788 I am hoovering them up, A7-BCV yesterday and their latest A7-BCX has just gone overhead underneath the cloud. Just need BCN/P/T/U now.
