Morning all
I haven't posted for a while due to work commitments but now back in the saddle so to speak.
Nice to see OE-LMK ERJ-170 flying along the South Coast this morning, maybe in for Exeter?

At last some decent weather, broken cloud but no trails. Have doubled my total for the year, caught up with N29961 789 on the UA46 to FRA, and just made TC-JOU A330F heading W at FL400.
(later) has clouded over now, but not before I made F-GZNR 773 CDG-ATL, N7777B C.680 heading E at FL410 and LHR departures OH-LTO A330 and VN-A864 789.

Thanks Ray, I have tried without success to find the way into Roche Barton Farm on 2 or 3 work trips down there. Have you ever visited? I believe there are a few based there.

Graham, Look at LAAS Ports of Call,it shows it behind the railway station (Truro I assume) and according to them there are half a dozen based.

Cheers Dave, the strip is adjacent to the A38 dual carriageway at Roche, a few miles north of St Austell. You can see the wind sock from the road and there's a low flying aircraft road sign but try as I might, I can't find the way in to the field. I'll check LAAS out though, so thanks.
Also Plane Plotter showing a B737 BBJ HZ-MF1 as just having landed at SNN having come across the pond, Hopefully, she'll depart soon and might pass our way.
EDIT - she's now OTT Waterford at 1606

Hi Graham. I haven't visited the farm strip at Roche as I don't need any of the residents. Looking at the LAAS site, there appears to be an entrance way on the opposite side of the road from Woodlands Barton Farm which is on a minor road to the East of Roche. Weather still awful here. Just heard SE- DSU BAE 146 on a test flight from Exeter but no chance of seeing it.

Sat at Heathrow now- here for another 4 hours. Made 8 so far including my 100th 787.
When I get chance I'll look through Jeff's excellent lists of airliners and see how many I need!

Cheers Bob.
Made 26 so far today- another 7 due in the next hour or so before I leave. Up to 105 B.787s now, with two more to wait for.
Then hopefully off for quick stops at Luton and East Midlands.

Broken cloud and occasional showers here today, no trails above FL320. Just 3 frames hit the spreadsheet, SE-DSU RJ100 returning to Scandinavia from Exeter, CS-GLB GLEX inbound LTN and (best, just gone overhead), A7-BCN 788, a great gap-filler, now have all of BCA-BCX. 787 number 194, but you are catching me zz!

Seeing as some of you lads have posted your B787 total seen, I've just done a count up and am rather behind most on 125 frames seen. I must get up to LHR more often.

I seem to be lagging behind with 787s. Up to 108 now- but only 2 overflights amongst them. Back to Heathrow on Friday so should get a few more.
Visited Heathrow, Luton and East Midlands yesterday. Today East Midlands, Humberside, then a first ever visit for me to North Cotes. Now sat at Coningsby, shortly moving on to Cranwell.
Will post logs soon.

Blank day, fog early and cloud never lifted. A380 count 156, need most Korean and Chinese plus a few recently delivered Emirates. Was hoping to increase my 787 count to 195 this evening as A7-BCY is on the QR15/16, but cloud still too low to see 09 approaches.
