Bob Thanks for your post. I have passed your nice comment on to Sue which she appreciates. We did visit Liverpool in November but did not arrange to meet you as Everton were playing at home. We have visited 74 different fields/ museums/exhib's this year ( incl. Scotland, North Wales, North East, Yorkshire and Kent ). Happy new year to you and your good lady. Happy new year to all AFA group. Les

Off the mark for 2017 with 7T-VKR 738 on LHR 09 approach, and N183AN 757 operating the AA203 AMS-PHL. Needed all the batch N180-184AN, think this one has only recently been drafted onto transatlantic routes (I know Graham made it last month). Let's hope the others follow suit!

Nice sunny day up here in Shropshire. Opened this years batting with 5 new frames & 3 scrapes. Thanks to Jargon for his headsup on the Silkway 747,
saw that heading west over South Wales.

Off the mark for 2017 with 7T-VKR 738 on LHR 09 approach, and N183AN 757 operating the AA203 AMS-PHL. Needed all the batch N180-184AN, think this one has only recently been drafted onto transatlantic routes (I know Graham made it last month). Let's hope the others follow suit! The N17*, 18* & 19* srs B757's have been regulars on the Manchester schedules for several years. I saw N183AN at MAN 8.4.06 Graham GTF4J2M

Made a couple more LHR visitors, D-AEWQ A320 Eurowings inbound and HZ-AK39 773 Saudia outbound after they changed to 27. An interesting evening sighting was 4X-ABI A320 Israir inbound LTN. Think this is a regular service, they have 2 other A320s 4X-ABF and ABG both needed frames so looking hopeful.
Referring back to my earlier post, I noted another needed American 757 which I have not seen on transatlantic before, N194AA on the AA55 out of MAN. One to look out for.
(edit) Graham, had not seen your post when I wrote this.

On the subject of AA 757's, I noticed that N173AA from BHX turned back over Ireland and headed for LHR. Anyone know anything?

Yes, I need 181AN, 182AN, 193AN and 194AN. 183AN was a nice bonus last month.There are also two United 772s I need 772UA and 779UA but these seems to be permanently running between the US West Coast and Hawaii so not much chance of seeing those. I was lucky enough to see the six United 772s that run out of O'Hare to Hawaii N210UA-N215UA over two trips to Chicago in 2006 and 2007.

Yes, not a bad day with EI-FRZ Ryanair gap filler (think this is based in Italy), F-GZHM 738 Transavia France inbound LTN, YU-PNK C.560 also bound for LTN and G-ODSA Bell 429 low level overhead.
Missed LN-RGL A320neo on the SK527/8 to and from Stockholm, maybe only the second neo into LHR (D-AINB was in a few months ago).
