Sighting of the day blog

[andypspotter]

Members are free to share their most notable sighting of the day, be it at an airfield, airshow or an overflight.

I am sure some days (possibly most) will be devoid of anything of note, whilst on others, it'll be difficult to choose the one that was the highlight.

So, here's my starter for ten...

23/5/16
N605AR C212 heading north late morning at FL130 to Pole Hill

23/5 was a Chinese G5 this morning but I didn't need it, N900FZ TBM700 was probably the best overflight today,made 11 overflights.

Today's highlight was TBM850 D-FGWZ heading N towards Pole Hill during the morning. Not particularly inspiring, but I was pleased to catch it, as it was flying at 30,000ft and not trailing.

A day of slim pickings, but enough of Dr Strangelove...

My highlight today was tricycle undercarriage Maule N14HF at Fairoaks. Although not a new one for me, it's always nice to see something a little different.

26/5/16

In contrast to yesterday, a marvellous day for picking up OTTs, and inbounds to the various airfields in the London area.

My personal highlight was seeing Saudia B744 HZ-AIY inbound to Kemble, on what could well be its last ever adventure into the blue.

Thanks to Andy- will try and get this Blog up and running again- a quick on due in Liverpool tomorrow in connection with the Brazil v Croatia friendly match at Anfield is an Air Italy 767 (Id not yet known) due at 09:10 today Saturday- weather grim- so not much chance of seeing much from my home in Cheshire unless that changes.

I was planning to head up to Mildenhall this morning, at the 'crack of sparrows', to catch the A-10s transiting through to Latvia. Sadly, overrunning maintenance work on my car has scuppered my best laid plans and any subsequent opportunity to assume the role of 'taxi service of dad' 😉

If I get my car back today, I may do a quick spin around 'the locals', or failing that, keep my eyes to the sky (clouds permitting).

Out shopping with her who must be obeyed as with most Saturdays out of football season- but noticed that the wind had changed and they were now landing on Rw27 at Liverpool which allowed me whilst to catch up with newly based Easyjet Europe A320 OE-ICB (Ex-G-EZOO) landing on the said runway,  albeit a scrape- but a scrapes a scrape.

The Air Italy 767 mentioned yesterday is EI-CMD a regular visitor to these shores and is shown in the AFQR as owned by Blue Panorama. Possibly bringing the Croatia team in for the game at Anfield, as Brazil came on or got on the train at to Runcorn before heading to Liverpool- picture of Neymar on Runcorn railway station. The 767 is due at 09:20 ish but wont be staying- it will return after the game pick up its passengers and leave again.
