Good to see two of the BBMF Spitfires out today. Three of the resident Spits out of Biggin so far, two 2-seaters and the newest single seater G-RYIX was very audible heading up to Duxford earlier...
...and that distant grumbling is a Yak 18T following the southern M25 westwards.

You beat the Telegraph with that observation, Richard T.
Argentine Gulfstream V in and out of Biggin today - note I've noticed any Argentine bizjets over this side of the pond on ADSB before...

Just noticed a Hondajet departing Biggin with the unfortunate registration I-JACK. Wonder what his squawk is...?

RAAF 737 inbound Stansted.
In an idle moment spotted something that one be possible soon, two RAF C130Js in close company with a Voyager at around FL160 north of the Wash, then GRIFFIN2 went dark, shortly followed by GRIFFIN3 doing the same, the Voyager, TARTAN 49, was race tracking off Fraserhead earlier before assuming its current station.
Nice to see PA474 pootling along at c.150kts on her way back from commemorating of Operation Manna in Belgium and Holland.
