Well, my dear wife woke me up at just gone 07.00 and looked out of the window to see the NATO C-17 02 departing Lakenheath doing a sharp bank to the North in the bottom edge of the clouds. Thank you very much, that's all three seen in this stay up here.
LN F-15s back today from Israel - guessing at 15.00 onwards - need one of them, but don't if I can be bothered to leave this nice warm caravan!!!
A rumour is floating around about Lakenheath and visitors from Portugal, but I have not been able to find any more about it. Supposedly the Hill F16s from the TLP in Portugal. My son was at Hill, Utah last week so missed them.

One slack late night pottable visitor in the shape of "BAF621" Belgian AF ERJ135 CE-01. Believe it or not, it is the first one I have managed to see.
Oh well, they all count.

At lunchtime,the wife decided that she wanted to go to the garden centre so off we trotted to Thatcham.This garden centre is close to Newbury Racecourse and noted at 13.05 was a Sikorsky S.92 and about twenty minutes later a Sikorsky S.76 arrived,FR24 on playback suggests that the S.92 was A7-MBN and the S.76 was G-ROON,can anyone confirm these please?
Also noted from home:
EI-FTS B737 Ryanair (Edinburgh-Pisa)

Beautiful start to the day in South Staffs, short lived. Nothing of note while the skies were blue then just the two added as the high cloud drifted over to be followed by the all obscuring stuff and other family tasks took over. G-CTAM A SE bound Cirrus EC-JCV A Flightline Merlin headed north out of BHX.

Not much opportunity yesterday, just some small stuff added. G-BUKO C120 G-BPFI PA28 G-CEAM EV97 I nearly missed out on G-BUKO as its Egginton based lookalike G-BULO had already made a couple of passes over my garden earlier, as it regularly does. Neither shows on radar but thankfully I picked up the bins and to my surprise picked off G-BUKO.

David, most of those look familiar yet a quick check shows not one of them in my list! I suppose a lot depends where you're viewing from.

Not so lucky with the blue skies today in South Staffs, after a promising start the cloud rolled in and pretty much hung around all day. Still enough gaps in the cloud, and in home working, to add these.
N537BT Gulfstream G550 - Monsanto Company N457WB Bombardier Challenger - Regis Funding G-DRTA Boeing 737 Dart Group/Jet2 G-BDKW Rockwell Commander 112 C-GNCH Boeing 737 Sunwing/Thomson N744FD Airbus A300B4 FedEx C-FWGH Boeing 737 Sunwing/Thomson
Frustratingly missed a Cavok An72 which I could hear overhead but not see.
