Complete blank today, could not see LHR27 departures so missed HL7637 748, B-7369 773 and D-AEWT 320 amongst others. Better yesterday, made C-FRSE 789, HL7632 748 and N515KA Gulf 650.

Forecast for today was dull, but it's wall-to-wall clear skies at 0745. Have to go to Newport for work so just hoping the fine weather is still around this afternoon for when I get back

Just watched Malaysian A380 9M-MNB dumping fuel at 8000 ft over Sidcup making a straight in approach to LHR. It had departed LHR then did a u turn over the Belgian coast for a rapid return. Hopefully just a precaution!

A curate's egg of a day. made 5 Ryanair, including 3 newish: FZD, FZF, FZG, and another Portuguese A330 into Heathrow, CS-TOH, but was frustrated late on when the low sun and extreme haze denied me the Korean 747-800. RAF Sentinel ZJ690 did another wide circuit of London, this time with a clear trail, but is the only one I have already seen. For those using ads-b, watch for the new Virgin Dreamliner - it is showing with an incorrect registration.

Well, I'm certainly not grumbling at my 12 x "MO" F-15Es, but I also made two Travis-based KC-10As (83-0076 and 84-0187).

Looks like its catch up time again, but to be fair I have been catching up with a good friend and his family, whom I have not seen for two years.

I managed Sentinel ZJ690 on the morning sortie down to the South West as "SNPSHT01". It went down the Western side of the Severn and was just visible through very thin cloud - helped by the sun on it and a nice trail to show me where to look.

My faithful I-pad finally went to meet its maker after 5 years of loyal service a couple of weeks ago. OK, read the reviews, went to Argos and bought an I-pad 2 mini, chose Apple because I could transfer all the apps from the old to the new. Worked fine for a week, then crashed. Took it to a local computer repair shop, for a nominal fee they got it going again but told me it was a reconditioned example and the motherboard was damaged. Sure enough, it crashed again yesterday, took it back to Argos, they said they never knowingly sell reconditioned pads, but acknowledged they have to rely on their suppliers. I got a full refund, have now ordered a "guaranteed" new model from Amazon. There is a lesson to be learnt there, I'm sure.
Made 5 airliners yesterday, HL7631 748 and B-7365 773 LHR departures and OTT LN-RKH 330 SK925 CPH-IAD, LN-LNJ AGP-OSL and HB-JNH 773 LAX-ZRH. More difficult today relying on the desktop, but still made 2, EC-MJO CRJ1000 Vigo-Luton and A7-BFK 77F ORD-LUX.
