Talkinghorse,
Yeah, we reported it to ATC - but there appears to be one on the left hand side of the aircraft too, as well as Bishop Auckland. However, it was a little bit distracting, and neither of us could work out if it was just a decoration or following us around the sky.
07? That's a new one to me - I've been caught several times on 25 from the South Shields area! I'll have an ask to someone I know in the tower and see what the status is on the lasers at the moment. Glad to know though that I'm not the only one who hasn't heard a thing about reported l@ser attacks since reporting them. Hopefully they've caught the perpetrators now - I haven't heard of many recently.
Cheers!, AD
