Made a few today. Best of all was EZ-S720 S.92 overflying my house.
(Saw EZ-S721 over Farnborough 3 years ago)

Recently made EC-MHZ G650 inbound Farnborough, strobes only however. G-XLEK is currently crossing the English Channel, should also be visible. I've had a few more military helicopters on today, taking part in Faraday Field exercise, if anybody needs tie-ups do let me know.
Regards, Dylan

Hi Dylan Would appreciate the Faraday tie-ups yesterday, I was on Hayling Island during the day, saw the Merlins, Lynx, Wildcat and Chinook plus Sea Kings earlier in the morning, they appeared to be operating in and out Thorney Island and then round the I.O.W. There was also a Chinook on airtest out of Fleetlands
Cheers Den

No worries - I doubt I'd of got the Chinook from Fleetlands however. If I was in Gosport at my Grandad's I would've!

Was out most of the day, but thin high cloud early allowed me to make EI-FOE returning to Dublin from Beauvais and N808T Gulf 4 inbound Luton. Then just before it got dark, TC-JCI A330F heading W as TK6557.

Thin high cloud here, was sufficient to obscure N352UP one of the two UPS 767s I need. However, did see OY-RUS A320 heading SW, but only a scrape, first time I have seen the frame since 1993 when it was at Toulouse as F-WWDO before delivery to Dragonair as VR-HYU!

Went down to SOU for an hour, made 1 in G-SUSX MD900, admittedly I thought I didn't need it, but I did. Saw D-ASTB A319 and G-WVIP B200 land, after G-ECOE DH8D. Went dire for a while so decided to head back. Made N492MC B747 OTT though, so isn't all bad.
