Agreed, I read far more than I comment, but I always check this thread when it pops up. Onwards and upwards for 2025!
A very merry Christmas to all of you!
Don’t forget you can track Santa on FR24 right now, callsign HOHOHO. Really!
Good question – but Iraq’s banknotes were all printed in the UK at the time, maybe it was an Empire thing?
Bugger! Thanks for letting me know, though, John.
Quelle surprise, the Skyvan!
Less usually, this time it was heading South, last seen on course for central Oxford. Possibly heading for Dalton Barracks?
I intend to get the popcorn handy for when the chaps who found the Electra- shaped seabed anomaly go back with cameras. Obviously I’d love to see it found, but seeing TIGHAR’s reaction if it is should be priceless.
Anyone fancy predicting what they (he?) will do?
I do worry, though, what MFowler (sorry, forgotten your first name, if I ever knew it) will do to keep himself entertained
Pitts Special over Kidlington – even gave us a bit of smoke!
One more I never got to see… Vale the Martin Mars, rest ye well!
Indicator that the nose wheel is down?
Shhh!
That at least looks more fixable. But how funny that two should happen in quick succession!
Intriguing, I wonder what they are up to? Especially as it was not taking the normal route into the airport, it was lower and crossing said route.
Thank you, Professor_M, that colour scheme looks exactly like what I saw!
Bizarre! Something looking very like a Britten-Norman Islander popped out of the murk over Kidlington as I was putting the bins out at about 16:05, but it’s not on FR24 and nothing in the air locally even vaguely resembles an Islander.
Fingers crossed for you!
I’m guessing you’ve v tried East Kirkby? They are very approachable on the Book of Face.
