ZM709 and ZM707 just showed up on FR24 & ADSB from Middle Wallop
ZM709 also showing as Demon1 near Stowmarket



Best

Rob
That shows that FR24 and ADSB have problems with their DBs. ZM709 cannot be in two places at once!

What time was this please?

Was ZM709 read off?
Hi Tom

I came past around 3.30pm

I might have read ZM709 off wrong, apologies

Best
I only queried this because ZM709 was still flying from Wattisham during July 2023.

Re: Glastonbury 2023

I think GnR were let down by the mics issues. Don't know if it was the same for the live audience, or just the BBC feed.

Slash's guitar performance was incredible, my wife described it as mesmeric.

I was a bit disappointed with the Foos TBH, my highlight was Mr Marr joining The Pretenders, class.

Thanks Tom.

I knew it had been upgraded, but last I heard it hadn't got a different designation, was still classed as an R1+.
Yeah it may still be designated the same, but DEFINATELY NOT an R2 (yet).
