Re: Sunday 5th June 22

I’m tempted to say 2 have landed. Visibility poor in South Cerney but sounded like a couple passed over on the path the U2’s normally take.

Did something depart around 0415 ?
You could be right, I heard something louder than usual in the night. Not exactly sure of the time but sounds possible.

No visual (yet) but it’s rather noisy in South Cerney at moment.

Re: NOTAM 18/3

Sounds very much like a second might be up over South Cerney. Visibility not great.

Re: Notam 1st December 2020

Does anybody know why the speed in the climb fluctuates so much? I’d attach a picture of the Planefinder graph if I could.

Re: Notam 1st December 2020

Very unusual to see on Planefinder, I don’t normally look but something else caught my eye (a C17). Is it visible because it’s Mode S ?

Re: Yankee 2-1 and 2-2 overhead

Great images. Do you mind me asking where you took them ? Or roughly what altitude they were at ?
Thanks, Graham.
