To be honest tracking on PlanePlotter isn't being very accurate at the moment, I'm wondering if a few ground stations are corrupting its location information as it just jumped from Nottingham to RAF Cottesmore.

She must have came from the Lutterworth direction, the M69 runs along side our village, so we get a lot of aircraft VFR useing the Motorway network.
as I live on the outskirt of the vilage guessing he just skirted around to pick up the M6 heading towards the Ricoh Arena, towards Coventry onwards to Brum Cosford.

Reminds me of last year when the Lancaster flew low directly over our house at just a couple of hundred feet on it's way in to land. You just don't forget those moments. :clap:

Any chance you could 'turn-off' more often? I want to see "decent stuff" ;)
