Hi Smudge

Spotted that a few minutes ago, but tell me what's the secret of getting the registration?  Neither Planefinder nor Flightradar24 give much of a clue apart from tantalise the viewer,

Ach, is Planefinder now also blocking that for private a/c?  That's frustrating.

I just have a cheap Mode-S receiver to pick-up whatever's broadcasting; since they issue their ICAO Mode-C identities it's straightforward for the software to determine the reg .   

Ards is  located in a 'basin' which restricts range in the northern hemisphere but reception to the south is good over the Lough.
