Funny how the airliners that once seemed so boring are now highlights - love to see a 1-11 or a Trident airborne, never mind a 707/DC-8. OK, I did see an E-3 the other day and an E-8 last year...
Nice to see many old friends from my spotting days out and about when I look at ADSB, light aircraft in the G-A and earlier G-B sequences plus some out of sequencers from the days of yore. Monsun G-AYPE has lived at Biggin ever since I've been going there.
Voyager currently orbiting off Wick, previously had been doing so between the Outer Hebrides and the Faroes - presumably tanking something coming across the Atlantic - F-35s on delivery?

Surprise attack from the Belgian Air Force - 3 F16's over Norfolk and a further 4 lurking off the Coast near Great Yarmouth. Looks like they sent everything they've got

Quiet week in my part of South Wales, good view of a A400 once this week overhead from the direction of Cardiff where it was probably doing circuits then later the sound and a quick sighting of a C17 popping through the clouds on a similar heading.

Have see the odd exec 727 around in recent years, any still flying apart from the sprayers here? I get the impression most of the remaining flyers are hauling freight until they break or are wrecked in the parts of the world where propliners previously ruled the roost (other than North America!).

John Romain's Spitfire PR.XI is airborne in the St Albans area... repaired after its unfortunate undercarriage collapse in Holland last year.
Skies are certainly starting to look more normal with Ryan Air, EasyJet and BA starting to ramp up their services a bit!
