Did a bit of googling, but why would an aircraft have a guage to measure radiation? Could it be from a nuclear capable bomber? The Concorde link doesn't work so can't look at that, again I'm curious to know why an airliner would have such a guage. Could it be from a hospital or industrial X Ray mac...

Good evening FC, I acquired what seems to be a vintage aircraft gauge and am trying to identify its origin, I was wondering if anyone could help. My first thought when I saw it was it could well be from a military aircraft or a civil aircraft with shared mil DNA. It seems to be indicating milliRoent...

Thanks ZG

Evening U2 fans, any sign of a return? Nice clear skies in Droitwich at the moment
Thanks in advance

I think he just passed overhead Droitwich, if so that’s my first RTB sighting in 2 years

Typical, first clear skies all week and can’t hear him in Droitwich, assuming he took a different route

Heard him on 252.875 at FL120

Just switched 133.75

Heard in the climb over Droitwich for the first time in a long while. Hope to get up to FFD next week in person.

Thanks Mark

If the wind in Worcestershire is anything to go by this will be a challenging arrival!
Black01 also on 252.875 now.

A familiar sound climbing at 0906, is BLACK01 outbound?

XX900 gets a jet wash

Brilliant thanks, I’ve seen him once directly overhead but I also see Brize/FFD traffic come and go over the roofline of the houses opposite so now I know where to look.

Zero G, does the standard return track bring it east or west of the Severn over Worcester? I'm trying to get a visual on return but no joy after quite some time of trying.

Clarifying FL400 or FL040?!
