Short one today ladies and gents

[TREBAX_RAVEN]

U2 up

[zero_gravity]

Early turn today , presently heading for a SKEGI exit

[Rotörhead]

Return notam 15:45-17:45 local

[zero_gravity]

Coasting in off Spurn head

[BOLLO]

15.45 BLACK 01 up on Swanwick 277.775

[BOLLO]

BLACK 01 up on 252.875 in the descent .

[zero_gravity]

Seemed to head SE after SHAW as if for a 27 landing , but now looking more like a zero nine.

[Rotörhead]

Will be a visual landing on 27

[zero_gravity]

Thanks , so I am assuming he went past the end of 09 and round the long way. Hard to tell from here [ LPL ] my binos cant see that far )

[Yammer]

last comms I heard was for RWY 27

That's the one yeah, did a left hand approach into Fairford for a change. There were loads of gliders around earlier, perhaps avoiding them at a guess

Landed at approx 16:32 by the way, unsurprisingly, no ice on the wings today

[zero_gravity]

Brrilliant , thanks for that , I can only see his tracking on PP , but good to have confirmation that the track was correct.

Those pesky gliders were all over the place , in a line almost from SW to NE. After a long flight the last thing he wants is to spend extra time going round to the south of the field to make an approach back onto 27 !

[zero_gravity]

Looking back , as BLACK01 crossed the east coast inbound there were 20-30 gliders milling around north of Fairford.
Do they not look at NOTAMS ? ...or perhaps assumed as this mornings NOTAM had been taken down , they were safe to play in that area.

Just listened back to check and Brize Director was warning him of Gliders 'between his current position' and Fairford at around 16:14 and offered to direct him to the South West of the field avoiding the majority of the gliders, so that'd be the reason for the strange track inbound! Not sure on the position of the gliders and whether they would have realised but your Plane Plotter track probably will show that!

Can i ask. How did you listen back

[Rotörhead]

I had a feed from my scanner going to my phone, been messing around with it recently
