One of they hey-nonny-mouse American civvy Hercs passed south of London about an hour ago, heading eastbound from Shannon, presumably to Ramstein on DoD business. Heard it droning above the murk... Herk above the murk...

Well I hope that's a hot air balloon I'm looking at. The chances of anything coming from Mars...

Bemused to notice a Canadian R44 at 28000' and 400+kt heading east across Kent. Better than that it had departed LAX and crossed the pond at 41000' and 500kt - seems it's actually a Falcon!

There's a Being 767 ER that has come from Lodz, over my bungalow near Bury St. Edmunds, and for the last half hour has been flying a holding pattern over Cambridge Airport at 4, 600 feet. Any ideas as what is happening with it??.

Three bits out, so finger trouble rather than a malfunction: confusing the hex digits "0" and "D".

Other than a Manx example that pops up fairly frequently, they are indeed pretty rare in UK skies. That said, there was an Italian AF example OTT yesterday: MM62026
