Any heads up for Friday or Monday next week
Does anyone know of any good heads up for either Friday this week or Monday next week as I may well be out there.The other thing is are they taking off from Station Rd end of the runway or the opposite end as I only know how to get to Station Road end.

Re: Turkish AF 814 & 815
They mentioned to ATC they were empty of cargo etc so im guessing they will stay tonight and depart in the morning.I am wondering if they are going out to USA to pick equipment up from Red Flag Exercise if any of the Turks have sent any of there jets out to the exercise.

Plane calling Engine Fire.
I just hear on my scanner on Boscombe Secondary on 371.825 that someone was incoming with an Engine fire.Would this have been on a mock up training sortie or is it for real does anyone know i couldnt get the callsign of the operator at time of hearing this.
