He'd have trouble returning home to Brockworth; big housing estates and a Tesco there now.

Would appear to be owned by Martin Baker for seat testing; sounded lovely.

Must be one of the oldest jet aircraft still in operation. Original airframe dates from 1949!

We were there yesterday, my father in law flew on her at just after 3:30. She regularly flies over our house when Boultbee run out of Daedalus in the winter months. We’ve also paid for mum in law to fly on the Harvard, date yet to be booked.

IL62 on its way over the UK.

Very unusual flight just overflew me. GZ100 - RAF A109 (32 Sqn - VIP transport) took off from Newcastle Airport and now made a fairly pronto landing at MAN.

Spotted yesterday on FR, unusual to see a BA flight direct from Bangkok to Glasgow.

Yeah seen that a few times here recently. It stays for an hour or so then goes to London. Dunno what the deal is.

Based at Northolt, it flies over me quite frequently. Not seen it up that way before though.

Pretty certain it's going to be a cargo flight. Easier to bring a whole aircraft full of PPE direct to Glasgow rather than bring it through LHR.

This looks odd. Anyone got any ideas?

[Charlie1986]

There’s also a RAF tanker in that area
