Smudge what sort of lens are you using to get those shots? Something borrowed from the Hubble Telescope maybe?

Must be for Prestwick.

Also was there a AN-124 went over NI around 15:30? Was out and heard a aircraft noise that i never heard before looked up and it looked like a AN-124 heading South-West?

There was indeed;UR-82007 as ADB1900.  Coasted in over Larne around 25,000 feet climbing to the south-west.

You jammy thing :)

I doubt we'll see this again any time soon; two 717s within 20 miles of each other over NI

Volotea's  EI-FCB and Blue1's OL-BLH.

Wow, rare bird.  C-2 Greyhound 164172 down around Shannon, or south of Ireland

Off the Cork coast heading towards Cornwall from what I can determine.  Is there a carrier group nearby for next week's exercises?

US Air A333 using the wrong ICAO hex and reporting as a Mooney M20P at FL360 :)

http://fr24.com/AWE731

Using A2B16F giving reg of N2728W .  Probably meant to be using A2AE01 for reg of N272AY.
