The good day continued with a few catch-ups on LHR departure: OH-LXM 321 Finnair TF-ISP 767 Icelandair VQ-BVP 738 Aeroflot (missed it last time) N27965 789 United plus C-GSAG PC12 heading SSE, trailing at FL280 and G-CJOF BD350 inbound STN.
Having made SU-GEG yesterday, the only other Egyptair 738 I need SU-GEF is inbound LHR on the MS779 and should go overhead outbound around 22.45.......(edit) and C-FRSI 789 Air Canada just went by inbound LHR.

Been sat downstairs today (such a rarity, usually in bed lol), had the radar on and made nothing. Missed SUEJ E550 owned by saxon air, going into Bournemouth, got to SOU and turned awkwardly for me to see it, hopefully will get it coming out. Logged N786AV B788 but not any good. Also ESSAK just going over the house but again, not any good!

A grey start to the day, which slowly improved as the day wore on, allowing eleven to trouble the scorer, including a very embarrassing one that I'd rather not mention, but were it not for a past logging error, would have gone unnoticed..

I was working down in Cornwall from Wed through till Fri and generally grey skies meant I didn't see much in the air. I did call into Perranporth , was granted hangar access but there was nothing new there for me, despite not having visited for two years. One thing I would say is that the manager there now, a young Polish guy is very pro-spotter and granted me the access without a second thought. I also paid a very quick call at Castle Air where all the doors were closed but there was a very nice red B206B G-BEWY parked up outside.
After leaving Castle Air en route to Camborne, an S-92 flew straight across the road at no more than a thousand feet, so I pulled over, switched on ADSB mobile which ID'd it as G-MCGZ
I was also hoping to get to Bodmin but the weather was atrocious and again, as a semi regular visitor, the chances of seeing anything I needed were slim.
So, efforts were saved for Yeovilton on the ride home on Friday where I spent an hour around by the church overlooking the main apron. Not a great deal happening but I did manage to pot a Merlin and two Wildcats
Merlin - ZJ130 Wildcats - ZZ383 & ZZ397

A bright and very breezy start to the morning, although a little hazy for the distant trails. this cleared as the day went on leaving crystal clear skies just ripe for harvesting reggies.

Can't match Christoff's bountiful harvest, but still made a few. Having made D-AIXA 350 yesterday, promptly made D-AIXB today, also on the LH424 MUC-BOS. A couple of newish Ryanair EI-FTY/FZF (still need 14), LHR inbound HL8044 77F Korean, A6-YMA Gulf 550 but missed LN-RKH 330 SAS and 9K-AOF 773 Kuwait. HL8090 was a nice scrape, ex Ryanair.
VP-BCG 738 Aeroflot is currently in LHR (these seem to be getting more common), was having dinner when it arrived but hope to see the strobes on departure around 22.45.
Looking forward to the summer schedules with Korean 748s and China Southern 773s.

Made USN C-130T 164995 this morning and that was it!!
Saw 9 out of 10 C-17/KC-135 flyovers and dropped the lot. Naturally the one I was prevented from seeing (clouds too high off horizon) was one I needed.
Still, tomorrow is bright and sunny....
