[twevsmiff]

For the record, Twin Squirrels G-DCAM and G-GBTV are being used for TV coverage of the International Triathalon in Leeds this afternoon. The aircraft have been surveying the route this moring and co-ordianting with Leeds ATC as they will be flying at the busy periods this afternoon. Currently they are at Coney Park ready to operate this afternoon.

Just heard an unusal engine sound overhead for lba airspace. Cathy Pacific a350 at 11,000 feet heading north over ls12 area departed man for Hong Kong according to fr24

According to Manchester ATC, Cathay Pacific frequently route inbound to Manchester overhead LBA. I saw one a few weeks ago early morning.

Yes it's a flight I have recently used....out over Bradford up towards Sunderland then out over towards Norway.

Is that a regular routing? I've never seen one take that flight path before at the time though it may have been avoiding storm clouds or something.

Does anyone still fly over the North Pole when operating to China Japan and Hong Kong? They certainly did at one time.

A.330 Voyager ZZ336(Tartan 12) flew directly over the airfield at 2140 heading Northeast, flying at 20,000'.
Could hear it plainly, but could not see it because of cloud cover

Interesting aircraft just about to fly directly overhead at 26000' heading North is Mitsubishi RJ9 JA23MJ
Looking aT pictures it looks like a clone of the Embraer 190

Yesterday morning I was on my way to work and a nice old C-5B Galaxy went over heading East. First clear sky in weeks!!!!

Did any of you get woken up by the Antonov 12 UR-CAK in the early hours of this morning? Even at FL260 at 0127 local time, it was clearly heard in Barnsley and a couple of minutes later passed directly over Guiseley routing from Paris Vatry to Keflavik.

I heard it here in Cookridge, 2 miles to the SE of LBA. Just heard what sounded like another too around 2pm, but couldn't see it for cloud.

Dornier 228 C-FPSH is just crossing overhead enroute to the Yorkshire Show Ground at Harrogate for a parachute drop at 1645

I didn't hear it at that time but according to FR24 the same An 12 UR-CAK left Liverpool at 4am in a NE direction, straight over my head near Grassington - was very loud indeed at roughly 15000ft. To be followed shortly afterwards by Cathay Pacific's A350 1041 descending in to Manchester arriving from the NE

Heading very leisurley North through the Western side af the zone is Hoffman Dimona D-KGRM followed by Scheibe SF-25B D-KWEL
Both touting from Leicester to Carlisle

Rather further from home is Brazilian registered Pilatus PC-12 PR-VSP heading South at 28000'

I’m guessing it just passed over me on the Halifax moors towards Oxenhope, made a right racket.
I couldn’t see it due cloud cover and assumed it was military as we often get low level flights below us in the valley.

Living close to DSA, I’m lucky enough to see (and hear) the 2Xcel 727’s on a regular basis. You always know it’s the 727 coming, even on a cloudy day!
