Brightened up a bit for a while, made 3 more EI-FOC returning to DUB, G-EZOZ routing from Edinburgh to Basel and G-EZPA inbound LTN from Malaga. Delivered on Friday, didn't know it was around until this morning!

That Wamos B744 has been a regular visitor these past few weeks Dylan along with sister ship EC-KXN which I noted on 14th Jan. I missed MDS a couple of times due to cloud but saw her on 3rd Feb, as you say on a Saudi flight.

Cheers mate. Need EC-KXN. Wamos isn't even in AFQR 2014!! Debating whether to get 2016 or not..... There's a LOT of reggies to be logged... Lol. Nothing made since then.

Looks like that is it for the day,cloud has filled in,and have tied the kids trampoline down just in case the old dear down the road gets a visit from it over the next 24hrs,has got airborne before in a previous storm, much to the annoyance of the CAA, just avoiding having to pay an exorbitant amount of money for an impromptu Air Display!! So hold on to your umbrellas especially if they start become a formation.....

Don't know if any of you chaps have been over or seen the Itchen Bridge in Southampton - 99ft at it's peak, directly above the River Itchen. I've got to walk over that at 07:45 in the morning... Hopefully it's not toooo windy!

The weather was better today than originally forecast so managed to log the following:
C-FPIJ B767F Canadian Cargo (operating a LOT flight) N561EE Phenom 300 N361UP B767F UPS (down to two now) S5-ZFL Global Express 6000 (inbound Farnborough) EI-FOC B737 Ryanair EC-MDS B747 Wamos Air G-EZOZ A320 EasyJet
And yes Bob,I got very wet at the Mad Stad,the wind was blowing about all over the place and the game was crap as well and with the dross that we have been served up with I am really considering not renewing my season ticket next season,that will be more money to spend on plane spotting trips.

Broken cloud here, no trails. Strong winds but no structural damage.
Off to a good start with N19951 789 on the UA46, great gap filler (now have all up to N36962).

Hi Bob,
I know what you mean but the footie (apart from last seasons F.A Cup) has been rubbish and you do get to thinking why bother but I expect i will renew.Today the weather has been diabolical so its been a day of checking off my last trip to Florida in Nov/Dec last year and have made more than I thought I would,as you would say 'Happy Days'

That's a very nice haul that Jerry - thankfully I count strobeys!! Made zilch today, rain most of the day, however, I today realized it's 7 weeks until I leave school (study leave, and then about 6/8 weeks after I leave properly). When it says "Study Leave", I suspect about a month of the 2 we have off for it will be spent spotting and having parties... Lol
Regards, Dylan

At last some blue sky up here (Bury) with some trailing and others not. Just has HZ-AK26 overhead Northbound at 34000ft but strangely not plotting position or showing up on SBS but it is there on FR24.

Sounds like you are having a better day than me Bob,lots of cloud here with occasional blue patches, but at the time when nothing of interest is passing through, best for me would have been HA-TVJ SF340,could hear it and that was all..

Just started to cloud over but before it did finished off with the other new EasyJet G-EZPA out of Edinburgh heading back to Luton looks like it was doing a bit of crew training -the Mexican Embraer will be a nice touch if it is seen. Happy Days Bob Well done Bob,glad the cloud gods were in your favour today,I ended the day on two 9H-VCK CL35 and XA-KAD E35L, hope the gods are kind for you tomorrow as well.. Chris.
