No problem, where did you defect from - you're not one of those pesky Ruskies are you? :grin:

I'm a bit puzzled by Tartan 31's outbound route this afternoon. The usual course sees Brize traffic continuing northbound well past Kidderminster, before turning right to enter the Litchfield Corridor at FL140. This time, he turned well before Kiddy, passing over South Birmingham and Leicester at FL160. Was this a convenient ad hoc routing, made possible by absence of north - south traffic, or is there an occasional corridor midway between the Daventry and Litchfield ones? :question:
And as the smart ship grew,
In stature, grace and hue,
In shadowy silent distance grew the iceberg too....

Tansor is up along with QRA from Lossie. Ruskies appear to be up to something as the German, Dutch and Belgian Q jets also scrambled

Anyone know what Voyager RRR9401 is up to? Having flown from Greece, approaching the Kent coast he turned to fly up the North Sea. Turning inland over North Norfolk, he then headed South, passing East of London and over the channel. Currently South of Paris, he seems to be heading back to Greece...?

(Edited flight no.)

Er, yes I do. Hopeless with numbers, I'm afraid. RRR9105 was a departure yesterday; must have had that in my mind.

At least I can spell Lichfield now, BigE... :)

RRR9401 has gone to Nice (I don't know why) after bringing 4 Lossiemouth Typhoons back from an exercise in Oman (via Malta probably), that's what it says on FC anyway !

Ah yes, Lichfield. :lol:

King Air G-BGRE just flew into Edinburgh. Apparently this aircraft has a link to Martin-Baker?

Owned by one of Martin-Baker's companies, looking at Companies House. The directors are the same for both, as are the addresses.

Unidentified Lear Jet out of Tromso, Norway, at 2700' over Brize just now. Looks like he's on the ILS procedure for 25. :question:

I understand the Hawks etc have been removed from FR24? Anyone further enlighten me? Cheers!

Edit:
just going to answer my own question by stating that TARTN51 is out and about. But Hawks may well not be shown.
