Wall to wall sunshine here in Paphos, 23 degrees. But just one frame, 4X-EKE 738. CS-TKR 767 operating for EL AL may be a scrape. Out most of the day on a trip, but OTT are almost impossible to see from our balcony until the sun is setting, whether or not they are trailing.

Cloudy here in Paphos, so no OTT, but best pot of the holiday with PK-WHS ATR72 of Abadi Wings on delivery. Big "60" on the forward fuselage, it's 60th ATR?

Made 2 this month - One yesterday and one today.
More pleasingly for me- just booked flights for a trip in June. Gatwick to Valencia, then drive to Teruel for the 60+ stored airliners. Then on to Madrid for the evening. Next day Madrid and Cuatro Vientos museum. This is somewhere I've wanted to go to for years ! Then the next day, flight to Berlin for the airshow then back to Gatwick that evening. Total of £118 for flights. Looking forward to it already!

Update from Paphos
Out all yesterday, drew a blank. First rain of the holiday today so no OTT, missed another ATR72 on delivery to Indonesia, PK-GAM of Garuda took off as we were having lunch, must have come in yesterday. Looks like Paphos is a regular staging post for Far East deliveries.

We're off to Rhodes in early September Bob, lots of OTTs there going NW and SE plus the traffic into Diagoras. It won't be as busy as Crete was last year but still hoping to make a couple of hundred in the eleven days we have.

More from Paphos
Very windy but mainly blue skies after showers this morning. No trails, OTT generally too far way to spot.
The weekly S7 service from/to Moscow was VP-BDG 738, saw it but only a scrape, made the frame as HA-LOK with Malev! G-EZPC inbound from Edinburgh, hope to see that.

Can't believe it today,weather was clear early morning but nothing to see,then its a case of clouds and patches of blue.Every time it was clear there was nothing needed,but as soon as the clouds rolled across anything needed took the opportunity to use the cover and get by unseen.....That's spotting I suppose.

Finally got some blue sky over Shropshire yesterday, with time of work to see stuff. Only 2 cops though EC-MIN A330 Air Europa EWG131 VRA-CGN 09:05 TC-LNC A330 Turkish AL THY36 YUL-IST 09:25
plenty blue during the rest of the day but every time any interesting came over there was cloud, including several bizjets (PR-NZV being one I missed).

Final day here in Paphos, broken cloud, some trails. saw 4X-EKH/J/O 738 and JY-AYP A319 probably all needed, TC-TLA 734 maybe a scrape and TS-IMW A320 not needed. LZ-ORO Avanti went overhead at FL280 but could not spot it.
Back to LGW tomorrow, hoping no repeat of last Monday's long delays!
