ASCOT 624 (numbers of callsign maybe incorrect :-[ ) (I think it`s a VC-10),just landed (20.04) on R25 at Aldergrove-listen out for him later;they normally don`t stay much longer than an hour or so.

The dark evenings are very frustrating-I have barley used my camera since mid October;weather has been too bad or just the darker evenings mean I don`t get an opportunity to take photos :(
