Just before I posted the picture, about about 11.20am. They then all disappeared a few minutes later, but the F35 is now back hovering over Chepstow

Edit and gone again!

treadigraph 3rd Aug 2021 14:39

Ah yes, I can see the F-35 now - pacing up and down a recreation ground...

Interloping Spitfire in SE skies today with the Grace two seater G-LFIX enjoying a leisurely trip down to the south coast at Beach Head via Reading and back to Sywell via Duxford.

The prototype trainer Spit G-AIDN seems to be flying again from Biggin, assume she's been getting some TLC for a while as I haven't noticed her about for a while.

Fokker 100 D-AOLG inbound Biggin...

SpringHeeledJack 7th Aug 2021 04:53

There can't be too many of them thar Fokkers still flying, especially around Europe.

treadigraph 7th Aug 2021 07:21

This one was a Messerschmitt... oh wait, that's a different joke.

SpringHeeledJack 7th Aug 2021 08:03

Funny! I flew on a BMI example that was on it's second revenue flight between LBA and LHR, the smell of new aircraft was joyously overpowering. I liked them as an aircraft and in the 90's they seemed to be everywhere within Europe and it was a regular occurrence to find one at the gate for your flight. Now gone courtesy of Embraer, Airbus and Bombardier.

Around two-thirds of the active F100s appear to be registered in Australia. D-AOLG is also destined for Qantaslink in a couple of months' time.

Coincidentally, one of Carpatair's two examples was also OTT yesterday, enroute to Manchester: https://myneighbourhood.emsbk.com/lh...btrak/51298282

Those two have been the only F100/F70s I've picked up in the last month.

Does anyone know what is going on the EZY535 from Belfast which is flying around the Bournemouth area at about 3000''?

pulse1 7th Aug 2021 10:41

It looks like EZY535 ids now on approach to 26 at BOurnemouth

GBOAA 7th Aug 2021 10:51

Maybe of interest is BAs first A319 G-EUPA heading for the axe at St Athan.

A few storm cells today so I would guess going round them.

Familiar howl while i was sheltering from heavy rain in the woods just now, AN-124 presumably into Brize. He seemed relatively low.

treadigraph 12th Aug 2021 16:45

Indian AF C-17 just steamed over here at 20000', another likely candidate for Brize I think...

G-ARZG 12th Aug 2021 18:02

If FR24 is correct, a US Army C-12 King Air just dropped into LHR from Wiesbaden in the last hour Welcome, Duke 35.

zetec2 12th Aug 2021 18:26

Believe C17 from earlier Indian Air Force arrived BZN carrying a Westland Wapiti & Spitfire NH631 for restoration, who restoring currently unknown but aircraft now on flatbeds.

zetec2 12th Aug 2021 18:45

Understand the Spitfire is crated, and maybe the Wapiti not on board ??, does any one remember there was a Wallace being built somewhere ? seem to remember a fuselage at a Cranfield PFA Rally some years ago ?.
