Yes, best to correct it Keith before the wrong registration Police see it. There's nothing wrong with typing with one fist!

Chris, had a quick look, 406745 is an E170 of Flybe G-FBJF, maybe that was your bird?

First bag of the day, and a decent one too, B733 I-BPAM of Blue Panorama passed just to my north on descent to Cardiff by the look of it Graham,missed it twice today now thanks to the cloud,at one stage this morning,there were 4 aircraft heading my way that I needed but thanks to the cloud didn't see any of them: A6-ENW B777 Emirates EC-LZN A320 Vueling I-BPAM B737 Blue Panorama TC-JJU B777 Turkish (would have been my last one for now). Never mind,there is always tomorrow.

That's bad luck Dave, had a few holes here today and have potted half a dozen or so including your Turk.

Mainly clear here from around 10.00 to 14.30, but working in the garden (felling a rotten apple tree) so made only one, and saw it twice! A6-ENW 777 at distance descending to BHX, and then right overhead at FL330 trailing, returning to Dubai.
Missed VT-ANT, G-VZIG and A6-BLA 787s again, but they will be back!

Had to head for Basingstoke for work so made time for quick visits into Popham, Blackbushe and Lasham. Lots of airborne activity at all three fields. Haven't checked photos yet but think I've made a decent few. Logs and photos to follow on relevant forums.

Just got back from a cold evening of watching Newport IW beating Folland Sports 3-0,and it seems that three is a good number as that's how many I made today.

Can beat that, made four today. LHR arrivals and departures N800AN and G-VZIG 787s and B-5961 A330, and EC-JYC Metro which went right overhead at FL190, surprising how many Spanish Metros and EMB.120s there are in UK airspace.
Missed a few more, including CN-RGR EMB.190 and VT-ANT 787 out of LHR.

Graham, dunno if the aircraft carrier is the one you mean, but if you go to the beach at lee on Solent, you'll make a lot of F18's and some other stuff. It's amazing.

Blue skies here this morning but hazy and no trails so difficult to see anything. Made OY-SRO 762F of Star Air, but missed N1911W Gulf and 06-6164 C17 which, if PlaneFinder is to be believed, took the civilian rather than the military route heading W over southern England.

After fixing a (free) non-running petrol strimmer today for the extortionate price of £7.19p I thought I would post my list a bit earlier.
G-EZOF A320 EZY84DU EGKK-LPMA A6-EOC A380 UAE212 KIAH-OMDB N27901 B788 UAL46 KIAH-EDDF A6-EEF A380 UAE202 KJFK-OMDB G-EZOE A320 EZY19GK EGKK-GMMX ZJ995 Merlin
Was pleased with the easy's as that brings me back up to date.

Another great day, went to Gosport to see the US Navy carrier, she was parallel to the coast so easy to pan along her deck and see all on board albeit too far to make any codes or regs. Saw a few Navy frames as I passed by HMS Sultan. Then onto Popham again, potted one there, then Middle Wallop, another one there and then Old Sarum where I made eight.
Approximately 60 on the carrier, so a great day's total in all.

Not often I make two 747s in a day, but made JA11KZ of Nippon Cargo this afternoon and, a few moments ago, LX-VCL Cargolux's latest through rapidly clouding over skies, lucky to see the strobes.
Also saw AN12 UR-CKL heading north a few minutes ago, but this is becoming common!
