Should be seeing plenty from the comfort of my own home this weekend as it's Turweston Airshow, although knowing my luck they'll all take a 10 mile detour and I'll see nothing!

We've just had a wonderful low fast flypast by the BBMF Hurricane PZ865.
It's now off to Kemble (that's what he told Waddington).

Last Saturday I spotted a 747 low to the east of my house, looking as though it was inbound to East Midlands Airport. I know they aren't rare, and use EMA regularly, but it's the first time I've seen one on that flight path. Made a nice change from the usual endless 737s! Couldn't see it on Virtual Radar though.
Grumpy old man in training!
