[smudge]

22nd

All-black Hughes 500 N500HL in around 13:40 for a drink of Avtur and away about an hour later.  I was in Belfast

Oh, it's technically a 369HS.  Is 500 just a marketing name? Yes, apparently.

Based in Kerry I think.

Unfortunately by the time I made it down to the airfield everything was closed-up so I could only peek over the fence.  Both the Arrow and Robin stayed overnight.

[smudge]

30th

11:15 TB20 G-CTIO arr

11:20 White R22 arr and later departed heading SE.  I think NISPOT knows the reg for this one

Taytocopter R44 G-CEAU passed by heading south to Ballyquintan but I don't think it landed.

Also I note that VEZE G-KENZ now has full ADS-B out.

[NISPOT]

The R22 is possibly G-LHCB Sir Smudge 

30th

11:15 TB20 G-CTIO arr

11:20 White R22 arr and later departed heading SE.  I think NISPOT knows the reg for this one

Taytocopter R44 G-CEAU passed by heading south to Ballyquintan but I don't think it landed.

11:15 TB20 G-CTIO arr from Biggin Hill.

Aha, snuck in last night then?  Small Smudge will have to think of an additional name since Harold has already been assigned.
