Dunno, I'm not there, but it is snowing according to locals. They are most likely waiting for the braking action to be measured and relayed to them.

As in shut?

Had no idea it was snowing up there.

Cool thing this flightradar. Just after 15:30 I saw a plane overhead (I was north of Gloucester) with 4 contrails, thought it looked a bit chunky so looked it up. BA A380 London to Miami. Followed by another 4 engined plane, Paris to Detroit.

Loving this flightradar. So addictive.

We live on a Bristol approach flightpath and find it fun seeing a plane out of the window and then looking at it on the flightradar....is that sad?

My wife knows now, hear a low plane outside (we're on Farnborough flight path) she asks "Where has that one come from?", she doesn't care but knows Im a bit of a FR24 geek!

It’s a CJ so wherever the very wealthy person on board has decided they want to go.

Ha yep. Many private jets are based at Luton and many more fly in and out of there.
