I wish the damn thing would show on FR24 etc.

As far as I know it does show on FR24

I've never seen it on FR24, ASDB or 360, when heading for NI, that is.

I just recall a previous grounding being something to do with a contractor having to work to CAA rather than Service standards... Or I think I do, I really don't know any more.

Hope they make to France next weekend, but little to be done if they can't.

I wonder if they are back to inspect the NIE power lines. One off them not sure which has done it the last 2 -3 years . On the power lines facing my house.

1540 just saw a pair of dark coloured Squirrel /  Ecureuil type helos inbound off the Irish Sea at approx 1400ft near Glenarm, heading east.

One was G-PDGF according to ADSB, out of Cumbernauld. Other was G-PDGT, lost signal south of Ballymena.

I`m not sure what the current situation is with the BBMF Merlin engines. The info I have is several years out of date.
I would suspect that the BBMF do their own servicing, but rebuilds and major overhauls may be subcontracted out.

One thing some varients of the Merlin were known for,was the supercharger suddenly failing, if that happened at takeoff, well it would be very messy, but I don`t want to get into speculation.
