Not particularly exciting in the scheme of things (and the first dull day in ages didn't help matters) but Grizzly ZM400 - call sign RRR488 - made 4 approaches to Londons favourite airport this morning, before shooting more approaches at Southend and, finally, at Norwich, before returning to Brize.

I moved about 1/2 mile closer to the threshold and 200 metres closer to the centre line for the next approach, so there is slightly more "underneath" angle.....

Hi Jon

Nicely caught, despite the (lack of) light

He flew low right over our house on the way to NWI

Thanks for posting

I was at the M In Laws house in Orpington yesterday, he flew over en route Gatwick to Southend, very nice to see at lowish (spamcan) level.

Nice catch Jon despite the change to conditions. Looking at adsb recently the 400s have been around the majority of civvy airports over the lockdown. Thanks for posting

Nice catch. I watched it fly past my house in Horsham, very rare occurrence
