This Ukranian cargo plane seems to make a weekly trip from Tangier to Manchester, it's really noisy at about 2.45am

Covered quite regularly on here Nissan car parts from the Renault/Nissan factory in tangier.

A strange one rather than cooling, a Dutch helicopter flew all the way to near Norwich and didn't land then flew back,
Dropping something off...

This landed at Brize Norton 13th July 2022 17:35 ish. It spent the day circling Latvia.

I expect covered before, is it doing EW against Russia for NATO or Ukraine? Or just some exercise?

Refuelling the air patrols.

A few balloons over Switzerland this morning - one up at 7200ft.

Edit; 7500ft

And some dangerous sight seeing here...

And a very dangerous short cut...

Both of those incidents are happening many times each day. There are still aircraft flying into (not just approaching) Moldova on a regular basis and plenty of Russian aircraft taking the route which that Tupolev has taken.

Good to know - is the pincer zeppelin strike upon Munich a regular thing too

Goes into Liverpool that rather than Manchester. Not sure if it is parts for JLR @ Halewood.

Canadian A4 Skyhawk from Germany, currently over Oxford area, nice icon...

The ones into Liverpool were bringing wiring looms for JLR I believe.

Probably, Air Force One has just flown over my garden, heading into Mildenhall. No call sign on ADS-B but it certainly looked like it.

Yes, it was a VC-25A.

It will only be Air Force One though when the POTUS is actually onboard.

82-8000 was the plane. Looks like it is Biden en-route back from Israel / Middle East

Guessing a refuelling stop.
Is it capable of AA refuelling?

MEM3032 appears to have gone down in Greece...

My wife was putting the washing out about 5 minutes ago and came in to get me - there was a group of c. 8 jets flying at very high altitude flying roughly North East over us (we’re just east of Banbury). They weren’t in a tight formation, but seems strange they were all together and flying so high - we get the Red Arrows over multiple times per year and they fly very low.

Nothing on FlightRadar or Plane Finder

Whilst I’ve been typing this another two sets of two have gone over on the same route…

It was RIAT at the weekend so potentially stuff relocating after that?

Edit: And two more

And then this, much lower but on the same track
