Thanks for the heads-up! Guessing this will be the flyby P8, presumably staging at Aldergrove.

There's a Logan flight due at EGAE at 13:20. They usually like to keep all other traffic south well south of Limavady when the ILS is in use. It'll be interesting to see how they coordinate this one.

Saw/heard it from home, about 2 miles away, making the turn back towards home.

The Logan flight was "conveniently"(?) about 25 mins late, so there was no conflict. They turned right onto the ILS centre line! Curiously, there was no interaction on the ATC frequency. They must have some "secure channel" for these things.
