I got C-FKIY DH8D on delivery today through SOU, which was very nice. Nothing else, however.

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. As expected, could not see A7-BCY on approach. However, cloud had thinned enough for me to get a glimpse of it on departure a few minutes ago. They have a couple more on order, BCZ (which has flown) and BDA (which has been rolled out) but I think that is it. A couple of Brucie bonuses, HL8009 773 on LHR departure and SE-MAI ATP inbound STN (when did I make my last ATP frame? Must have been in the last century!!)

My day off today ,and very nicely coincided with some half decent weather for a change, and a respectful nine hitting the books,it would have been double figures had my son not requested a lift to work this morning....Anyway here is the list.
G-PJDS C550 EGHH- N487C FA7X EGGW- ZG918 LYNX O/F PILGRIM1 ( this was in formation with another AH9 but didn't show on the box,any help gratefully appreciated ) N645GT B763 GTI8873 KABI- P4-AMR CL30 EGLF- N888VS GLF5 LEZL- EGLF 9H-MIR CL60 EGSH- N842PA GLF4 PEG42 EGLF G-CIIR C150 O/F
That puts me on 13 for the first week of the year,slightly up on this time last year ( 9 )
** Update on PILGRIM 1... ZG923 AH9 has just pinged my radar as PILGRIM 1,maybe same formation with 923 as lead A/C or as a singleton now**

Ended up with 31 at Heathrow today including G-ZIOO A.109 of RAF. Plus 2 overflights.
Up to 113 B.787s. But still need 1 Virgin and 1 BA which annoyingly were both inbound from Delhi after I had to leave!
That's about 90 for the week (and year)

Hi Keith, well we were on the 25th floor of the hotel in Birmingham, with panoramic windows giving almost a 360 degree view. And although the am was manky, it was lovely during the pm.

Well, rained for most of the day, two small periods of respite saw a few holes in the clouds, enough to see OE-LDB A319 heading into Bristol, G-ZBAT A320 trailing southbound and SX-KMA CL60 coming in eastbound and descending, so possibly heading for FAB.

Yes a very productive day- made 10 overflights, the best being ZZ331 Airbus.
Also managed a bit of typing up of logs- I got Waddington airshow 2013 done, so still about two and a half years behind!
