Only occasional breaks in the cloud so made nothing OTT, but LHR was on 09 so made 3 frames inbound, HB-JBG CS.100 Swiss and not one but two 748s, HL7633 Korean and A7-HBJ Qatar Amiri Flight.

Low cloud and occasional drizzle all day, LHR was on 09 but not visible, missed needed frames including D-ABGH 319 Eurowings, D-AIZZ 320 Lufthansa, ET-AUA 350 Ethiopian and VP-BAY 321 Aeroflot. No doubt they will all be back in due course!

Yes, wall to wall greyness down here, no chance of OTT. LHR still on 09, could just make out inbounds through the gloom so made frame B-2025 773 China Eastern and scrape D-ABZN 320 Eurowings.

Morning boys,
Hope some of you saw this but brand new United B777-300 just went over me heading for LHR, N2135U.
Great to see some more new equipment being used by UAL...
Cheers Fellas.

LY-VEH A321 in the book today, nothing else so far, the sky is absolute garbage for seeing anything - and a lot isn't trailing. Going to Popham tomorrow so I'm sure we'll cross paths Dave.

Another frustrating day. LHR still on 09, but cloud too low to see inbounds so missed a number of frames including LN-RGO 320neo SAS, SU-GEH 738 Egyptair and VP-BAF 321 Aeroflot.

Presumably the UAE C17 could be bringing the choppers for the summer - bound to be e same 2 as previous years.
Made just 2 today, EI-GAL newly delivered to Aer Lingus went OTT, but not trailing. Will become a regular of course, but good to clear it so quickly.

Cloudy early, slowly cleared but hazy, finally clear blue skies late afternoon. Needed several LHR departures, missed N59034 773 American but made N26967 789 American on the UA935, D-AEWT 320 Eurowings on the EW9463 and ET-AUA 350 Ethiopian on the ET701. OTT not too productive, but made C-GNCH 738 Sunwing on lease to Thomson inbound Norwich and scrapes N744FD 300F heading for CDG and G-XJCJ c.550 inbound STN.

Especially today with that Alaskan C-17 (00-0185) going over.
Looks like it is going to be a straight week without making anything up here at Mildenhall - and minimal movements to go with it.

Which one of you guys has cursed Norfolk with cloud and rain? I have had the worst start to a month for ages with 1 day of blue sky so far! Cheers Mike B Mike, We have had the opposite up here in Cheshire- one cloudy day and seven day's when the sun shines. Sorry!!!!!! Four in the book so far today:- M-DANK- Global westbound EI-FZP- 737-8 Ryanair southbound to BRU D-ABGK- A319- Eurowings eastbound N477EU- SR22 southbound Happy Days Bob Hi Guys, I really wouldn't mind the cloud if we had some rain, but it's just clagg all over the place and I'm having to water the garden!!! Unbelievable!!! I'll have to get the misses to do a rain-dance with no clothes on!!! 🤓🤓 Cheers Fellas. Bill

Not even a hint of blue here, so no OTT, but LHR back on 09 and could just about make out inbounds, 5 frames made, LN-RGO 320neo SAS, F-HRBB 789 Air France and a trio of 773s, HZ-AK42 Saudia, B-2023 China Eastern and VQ-BQG Aeroflot replacing the usual 330 on the SU2578. Not bad for a dull day at home!

Still cloudy here in Norfolk!
The only logged airframe so far is G-CJNI AW139 that has finally entered Rig service and come over my office today.
