Hoping the weather won't be too bad today. Going to Yeovilton for the morning (at least) to catch up on some Wildcats! Was going to do Mildenhall and Lakenheath but the weather looks worse that way.

Weather is crap here but for about an hour or so yesterday afternoon we had some clear skies which enabled one to be logged:
VP-BBI Gulfstream 280 (out of Luton I think)

Hi Chris, I read a while back that the Army BN2s are to become RAF owned, does anyone have a date for the transition ?

Not required, but was nice to see ZH002 drone overhead a short while ago routing Aldergrove - Waddington. Hi Chris, I read a while back that the Army BN2s are to become RAF owned, does anyone have a date for the transition ? I read that it would be 2018.

Just the one (Mrs Wembley). 12-3050 the C-146A Wolfhound, as noted in the Mil Movements thread - and extremely lucky to see that, too.
That's me off the mark for February.

Just one frame for me today on another mainly cloudy day, TC-LOE A330 Turkish on LHR 09 approach (c/n 1592, think this is one of the Skymark order which was never delivered). And a surprising scrape, G-GDFX 738 of Jet2, not sure how I have missed this previously!

According to LAAS, she's based at Dunkeswell, she was heading west so maybe heading for home?

Can't match Bill, but at least made 3 newish heavy frames, 9K-AOE 773 Kuwait and C-FRSA 789 Air Canada on LHR departure and A6-BLJ 789 Etihad heading for MAN. A bonus was F-GZHA 738 Transavia France inbound LTN.
Saw a Chinook heading E past Weybridge at 16.20, but the live-military-mode website was down at the time so could not identify it. Any ideas?

Not that I am complaining, but it is noticeable how many Chinooks have been transiting along the Thames during February. I have logged 4 since 3 Feb. Coincidence or a training programme?
