Usually head down through Scotland.

Not a lot eastbound this morning, about half-a-dozen in total. Looks like the westbounds will be down the south as well, so a quiet day for us.

Sky is remarkably clear without contrails.

One to watch for on Saturday nights! I was amazed to see this from Ards tonight, when he was off the Portavogie cost. Just a tiny lime-green dot but still counts as a spot...

Cookstown & Lisburn should be en route

Fairly academic given the clouds, but RAF Sentinel ZJ692 has been active over Kintyre and Galloway for most of today as SNAPSHOT1.

Reporting FL410.

Alitalia 777-200 I-DISU currently heading southeast towards the BEL is unusual in being one of their Italian- rather than Irish-registered examples

Did you get the Qatar B777F ? I noticed it scooting down the coast over Larne on FR24 a while ago.

smudge · « **Reply #164 on:** July 06, 2014, 03:25:45 PM »

Gah missed it! And the RC-135 .. and an opposing-pair cross bu Turkish and Lufty

Working in the garden is not conducive to spotting!

Perhaps this one will go through one of the blue holes in the cloud: Air Bridge Cargo B748 over Derry heading SE

Sounds like a refueling corridor leading from south of Iceland towards the Hebrides. Rumour is that it's the F-35s inbound.

Interesting............so have they been cleared to fly again after the recent grounding?

Yes, apparently it's all systems go. They tried to depart yesterday but it was deferred for some reason.

smudge · « **Reply #170 on:** July 08, 2014, 06:43:41 PM »

Checked the NOTAM agaain: airspace reservation expired and has not been renewed.

Perhaps tomorrow
