Although the new TAP A20N CS-TVA was a nice addition, there was really only one 'winner' today, for me - LJ35 ZS-TOW inbound the TMA. Not sure where it ended up.

Hard to beat Andy's LJ35 but did manage an El-Al 787 4X-EDD heading west yesterday evening, and this afternoon on my way home from work at 12:30 saw needed Cathay A350 B-LRX heading east towards Manchester with a nice trail on its way to Hong Kong from Dublin - a new service- CX301/306. Saw it on FR24 inbound Dublin this morning prior to going to work. Happy Days Bob

For me, the undoubted "star of the day' was USAF E4 73-7176, heading eastbound at tea-time. Admittedly, it had transited the area in the opposite direction about a month or so ago.

15:25 Again not a major sighting overhead Manchester but an unusual one in the form of Alitalia A319 EI-IMM heading south out of Edinburgh with a nice trail. Also a Brucie bonus cop for me as well. Happy days Bob

Same here Tim, still landing 05 at Manchester but due to low cloud - inbounds to same could be heard but not seen. So a nil cop day for myself. Can't complain though has been the first day this week where it has been overcast- so cannot grumble. Even had a few spots of rain, before. Never mind Chippy Tea tonight and a few beers whilst watching the TV. Fingers crossed weather will improve tomorrow. Have a great weekend everyone. Happy Days Bob

Slim pickings for mectiday (8/6), even though the weather was fine.
TAM B763 PT-MOF inbound to LHR was probably the highlight. It's that time of year when TAM supplement their B773 service with B767s.

Just read on another site re double yellow lines been put in place around Cairns Avenue ? I think near Heathrow- apparently £60 fines if found parking- something also about Myrtle Avenue!!!! don't use this area myself when I go to LAP on the odd occasion usually either go to the Renaissance or Hatton Cross- maybe someone can throw a little more light on the subject as it may-will affect spotters who frequent the area.

Forgot all about the show Tim, until I saw your post- quite a few of the flying display aircraft go into nearby Shawbury. Attempted to get tickets yesterday, but as expected sold out, albeit apparently there were 150 still for sale at the Museum. Have been before a couple of years ago- a great show to visit. But I am not too disappointed as I am going to Fairford in a few weeks. The Museum is as you stated great just like Hendon, it is free but you can make a donation. Happy Days Bob
