With the current "firebreak" restrictions in place in Wales and various Tier 3 lockdowns in England at present and tightening elsewhere in England, only relatively very few will be able to see these arriving early next week. Only essential (so non spotting) journeys allowed now in Wales so will have to wait until next year to see them flying...

They are now at Keflavik, so next stop might be in Scotland (Glasgow?) before Valley.. so a few locals may see them soon.

Current (Sunday @ 19:23) weather forecast for Anglesey for Monday, might just say "no" howling gales and non stop lashing rain forcasted for the whole day.

[duran212]

I've just been told they are delaying departure until Tuesday.
I presume its because of the weather.
Cheers
