Re: Howler 21 flight - 17/10/2023 - Movements

Howler 22 had an unsafe gear indication. Declared an IFE following the low approach to get a visual inspection of the gear from the ground. After landing they elected to vacate the active and have the gear pinned prior to taxi.

Isn’t that the same bird that had bits of a canopy come off during flight at EAA couple weeks ago? There was an L-39 that lost its canopy on take off at Air Venture.

Re: 2023 Scanner Frequencies

I've got Fairford Ground as 121.175 (can't remember if that equates to actual frequency of 121.180). Fairly sure RIAT tend towards VHF where possible

If the purple route is shut over the weekend then blue departures will be affected.
Could be. They may utilise the alternate blue route via Castle Eaton for departures to try and ease the burdon.

Re: Bridge Closure at Lechlade

The blue route from Swindon direction is via the A419 and C124 so that should also remain unaffected
