As the CAA are now ‘jamming’ the ever-useful Notampro softwear, its back to searching the random entries in their own NOTAM system in the hope that my Luton Minor doesn’t bump into something.
This one came up while checking for activities in the Bicester area(!) Looks like our friends in East Anglia will have had a fun day looking skywards!!

Hello,
I had high hopes of seeing some of the action if it passed over my works East of Coningsby….but in fact nothing much out of the ordinary went by.??!!
Perhaps Conningsby was typed into the “take me there computer”…and all they got back was an error message “place not known”….so all went home ??!! 😉
