Best day of the year so far with 6 frames on the spreadsheets including 2 massive gap fillers, A6-EYU 330 Etihad heading for Dublin (my last one) and EC-MOG 320 Vueling heading for MAN (to clear the fleet). Also new Philippines 773 RP-C7781 and SAS 320N EI-SIC (at last) inbound LHR plus M-MBLY GLEX and OO-PCI PC12.
Scrapes were OE-IJI/IVI easyJet Europe, SP-ENG Enter Air and VP-COH BBJ.
Missed needed F-HRBE, was watching the Hammers being made to look stupid by Shrewsbury. But it will be back!

With LHR approaches from the west for the first time at my new home, a bumper day was had A6-EQF 777 OE-IVS A320 VP-BOC A321 D-AHOS E135BJ G-JZBD 737 CS-DSF Falcon 8X G-JZBF 737 A7-ALS A350 EI-FYC 737MAX My first MAX at last!

Would have made quite a few more after dark but they were too far north to see anything but lights. Those joining from the South came right over the top but nothing much of interest comes that way alas!

Finally got off the mark for the year with "BAF611" ERJ135LR CE-02 coming out of Cardiff and routing down to DVR. I missed it on the way in, so well pleased - slack though it is.

Seems to have been a day for gap fillers. Finally saw G-EZWT of Easyjet, which has moved around the bases frequently. Atlas ZM415 with a short trail was also welcome, as was AN12 UR-CGW.

More like plastering than filling today! Crystal clear sky meant I could easily pot east/west traffic at anything over FL32 between 60 - 80 miles north with bins, hence adding three Lufthansa A340s for instance. No complaints today, especially as I was busy with other things so pleasing that when I had the chance something needed would show up.

We were given almost full hangar access courtesy of the airfield's 'enthusiast hangar tour' guide Keith Wilson. If anyone would like to take advantage of this please contact Keith on the following email address. You will be expected to make a voluntary donation (we always give £5.00 per head) which is well worth the money. There are a couple of hangars where we are not welcome - these being the Babcock helicopter's hangar plus the other helicopter maintenance facility (name escapes me). Otherwise, as long as the hangar is unlocked Keith or David will get you in which is why the log is so extensive. One piece of advice, if you really want to see Staverton at it's best, wait till the weather warms up and go mid-week - quite a few hangars are not open at weekends.

Can’t match Bill’ mammoth haul, but managed 6 frames today, HB-JCF CS300 Swiss, HL7579 350 Asiana and HB-JSG CL605 LHR departures, 166693 C-40 US Navy heading SSE at FL350, N973MC Gulf 450 inbound LTN and ZZ403 Wildcat heading E along the Thames. C-GJDU BD350 and OE-IVC 320 were scrapes.
However, missed A6-EUX 380 Emirates out of BHX on the EK40, was watching Neighbours! (Should I be admitting this?)

Saw that C130 on PP and ADS-B but too far north from Devizes. Never mind, I did see Belgian AF E145 CE-02 heading east clearly a couple of hours ago whilst out with the dogs

I couldn't see the C-130 either - what a difference 6 miles South makes!!
Anyway, a trip up to Fairford to see the diverting B-52H 61-0018 also netted me two of the deployment ones 60-0005 and 60-0009. FAA Challenger N86 was also present for calibration work, but there was no sign of the remaining U-2S. It is not in either of the B-2 hangars (both of which were partly open), but in the Eastern one of the two in the centre - which was firmly shut up.
Thank you very much - and now to get the other two B-52s (which I need).

With the departure of the FAA FlightCheck Challenger N86 and the expiry of today's open hours NOTAM, it was time to make another trip up to Fairford to see the other two B-52Hs 60-0012 and 61-0005.
Quite a sight to see 5 BUFFs on the deck at the same time; not seen that since the Kosovo campaign in 1999 (B-1s and KC-135s also present then).

Thanks for the confirmation that all five are there Bob. I'll be nipping up to FFD tomorrow morning to meet with Jeff and Bill to see them for myself.
