Just looking at the aircraft flying near us (adds a bit of excitement to our lives!) and noticed a British Airways flight coming over the east coast from Shanghai! They have relaxed the rules there so there should be no problem?🤫. London beware.

There is an article in the news today that BA are using passenger jets to fly in Masks gowns and gloves from China on a Boeing 777......all very much needed kit. A 28 hour non stop mission.

Govt are still getting a lambasting over lack of PPE

Apparently, there's an aerial display planned for the 75th anniversary of VE day on the 8 May bank holiday, they could be practicing for that

The 8 May, which is the day after the next lockdown review

I don’t see why unnecessary flights like Red Devil’s practicing are still happening, when they could potentially add to the strains put onto public services. These flights can’t be cheap either.

I use flightradar24. Air Bridge Cargo 747 to Amsterdam currently passing over south of Dale. Last Saturday I observed 2 DHL and a KLM Cargo going to the USA.


Have a look at the flightpath of LX-FPP near Norwich. If you got Freedar you can see an AWACS going dizzy in the North Sea and a lot of military activity over Germany. Tornadoes.

Ryannair are ghost flying a large portion of their fleet under 10000 feet ,20min flight every week saves on 500 services to get them back in the air.

Flying empty ,only bare minimum crew just to either keep slots at airports or save on servicing as they are doing ,they will be ready to fly quicker with more planes doing this when restrictions are lifted.
It's from all airports they fly from I think ,been a few from manchester.
