This operated GRL6513 EGVN-CYYC on Friday. Likely the return journey.

You're right! Landed at Brize.

Envelop Air B738 EC-LXV which just went over Ards in the dark has the Dreamliner-style 'slow-fade' strobes. Must be standard for Boeings now.

If I see it or a 787 coming I'll try to make a video.

Edit: apparently these are LEDs rather than traditional incandescent bulbs, and technically aren't strobes since they don't rotate. That's me told...

Standard now on new-builds

Yeah, that's the full size on the sensor $:-\$

Fed-up with the haze today. This is all I could catch.

17:15 Pink Delta B764 heading to us at just FL300. It's well worth a look if you have blue skies, looks great.

I see B737 C-FTJH as TOM9010 routing NW out of Dublin. I presume this is heading home for snowbird work.

Steve, as you know I'm mainly mil oriented so Snowbird means the RCAF display team to me. What do you mean?

Sorry Tom. A reference to those from Canada who over-winter in warmer climates.

Thanks, Steve.

Thomson B738 Manchester to Toronto, passing over NI now

Presumably the reciprocal lease with Sunwing to cover the Canadian holiday season.

11:10 Any holes in the cloud? AFR066 is a mile lower than yesterday; an A380 at FL300 will be quite a sight.

Royal Jordanian A340 @FL370 going SE to NW across the Ards Peninsula, if it's not wall-to-wall cloud @Smudge Manor

Gah, wall-to-wall twice over!

Mixture of mizzle then blue holes as the showers move through in Co Armagh. Lovely in the sun at 16c.

The day has come - last daya of MD-11 scheduled passenger service.

PH-KCB tracked out over the South this morning...

http://fr24.com/KLM31

which only leaves us with PH-KCE operating KLM671 west around 16:00 local time. Go away clouds...

Both 'KCB and 'KCE will operate back to Amsterdam tomorrow morning but pass over us before local dawn.

Would have been nice to ge a shot of the last hurrrah,but likely we shall just have to watch for the freighters.

And what's that "blocked" aircraft heading our way - @4500ft W of Whitehead?
