We have one regularly coming into Staverton. It's...distinctively loud. Like a flying dentist drill.

Can hear this circling overhead. Why would they be doing that? Didn't know there was a police plane, assumed they always used choppers.

A couple of flights had a bit of a 'mare landing at Edinburgh last night. There was a bit of horrible weather passing over which I guess made it difficult.

It was the Wizz Air that made me look at FR24; we live under the Glasgow flight path and it flew over us in the opposite direction I'm used to seeing. Seems it doubled back and landed in Glasgow then got back to Edinburgh in the early hours of the morning.

Pair of Typhoons launching late out of Conningsby. Seem to be in a hurry heading East. QRF shout?

Edit: Actually, guess it's a night flying exercise. Can see 4 or 5 of them now
