Had Hurricane G-HUPW over Chelmsford about an hour ago. Music to my ears. :heart_eyes:

It showed on FR24 with the icon of an airliner and said it was out of STN?

C17 just landed at Farnborough. Seemed to have originated somewhere near Gyor - Hungary ?

Do you know what the purpose of the visits are? It appeared to immediately taxi back to the end of the runway and take off. Long way to come to spend 6 minutes on the ground.

Probably to drop off or to collect crew that use the C-17 simulator nearby.

As an rare viewer of ADS-B - is there a US F35 at Marham or is it an error or part of the training unit - on ADSB now with RAF ZM150

It's an ADS-B database error, don't believe any of the serials for F-35s you see on there!

I forgot to post this on Tuesday, but during a work Zoom call DH.104 Dove G-OPLC drifted over the garden during some really intense rain and low cloud. I was really surprised to see it up in such weather!

It came from somewhere over Cosford way and tracked pretty well all the way into Coventry.

An interesting route which basically took it East over Leicester before turning South West back towards and then over Market Harborough and then a long approach into Coventry.

Four trails over Edinburgh just now. Anyone track what they were? About 6.15pm tonight I first saw the contrails. Think heading south-east.
