Hi with much better conditions today, here in Bangor anyhow the A380 is enroute. His present track is a little further South of yesterdays so coasting in around Newcastle and the a route south of Lough Neagh looks to be todays track.

It definitely was. I'd just come back from the park with the kids saw your post and then checked its position on FlightStats and Openatc and then stood in the backgarden and waited :)
