Went outside early to spot it in the blue (over Frome/Beckington) before it went behind all that clag.

That's shocking Jerry that a retailer is selling, whether knowingly or unknowingly reconditioned electrical goods.
Today got off to a good start with American B757 N194AN trailing eastbound across Wiltshire. This must be a very infrequent visitor as it's not listed in my 2015 CAM, leaves me needing just three American 757s now.

N194AN isnt in Fr24s database, so FR24 cant of shown it, one has to assume it was a typo on grahams behalf and it was N194AA that with the help of the aforementioned FR24 operated the JFK -MAD flight today 😊

Thank you yes, a typo, so thanks for the Spanish Inquisition captainbob, as you can see, sometimes there is a simple answer.

We have a similar scenario at the little farm strip at Coate just outside Devizes, I often see a couple of visiting light aircraft who park up, and wander down the bridleway to the Coate Inn for a pint!

A good start today with almost new Emirates B773 A6-EQA passing to my north routing from Newark to Athens. Hopped in the car and shot down to Longbridge Deverill as there were some gliders that I needed, and I ended up making two of them plus a PA25 tug

Had a quick visit to the Yorkshire Aircraft Museum at Elvington today. Saw the Mirage IV and a Jet Provost nose I need, plus maybe a couple of other bits.
On Wednesday I went to the museum at Doncaster, and again, made a few.
Will post logs and hopefully some photos in the next few days.

Cloud cleared early afternoon, but not a lot (with one notable exception) of interest in the skies. 2 frames on LHR departure, D-AINA 320neo and a rare visit from Aeroflot 320 with Sharklets VQ-BSI.
USAF overflights are not common here in Weybridge, but the cloud cleared just in time to see 61-0270 OC135W big trail at FL340 heading WSW just south of here. Think this an Open Skies observer, not many about, think there are only 3, 61-0270/2/4. Missed KC135 61-0300 which took the same route earlier, but luckily not needed.

Only two OC-135Ws are left, Jerry. 61-2670/2672.
61-2674 was an OC-135B and entered AMARG on 21/08/1997 - where it remains to this day.

Thanks Bob, I'm not very good at military, got the serials completely wrong!

This abandoned corner of the UK yielded the USMC KC-130J for me today..........and an unwanted C-17.
Better than nothing though!!

Was busy around the house so had the radar off most of the day, but still managed 5 frames, LHR visitors VT-ANX 788, B-7367 773 (was showing as B-2003 most of the day on FR24), EC-KMD my last Iberia 319 and D-AEWW 320. Finally G-PRPH DHC8 routing SOU-AMS.

Had a business meeting in Cheltenham at 9.30am, got to the venue to get a call to say my colleague wouldn't arrive until at least 11am so hopped across to Staverton. It was cold and blowy so most of the hangars were closed up but plenty parked outside and I made 9, plus an Emirates 777 A6-EPZ OTT. I'll post log and photos tomorrow. As last time, the large Babcock hangar was stuffed full of choppers but reflections off the glass made it impossible to ID all but two of them.
