[White Heather]

737/700 G-NEWG(Broadsword 904B) passing about 5 west of LBA(1200) descending into Teeside, bringing the victorious Leeds Unitred team "home" from Exeter.

Ridiculous.

 

[Bigman]

Why is there a Delta A330 doing a circle overhead?

Looks like it is heading back to AMS

 

[Aviador]

Do you think it might have gone tech prohibiting an ETOPS flight?

Do you know the flight number/registration? That way, it can be traced on FR24.

 

[A400]

It’s A330-300 N821NW AMS-DTW that turned around near Leeds.

 

[Len Fish]

Yes, returned to Amsterdam and FR shows it’s still on the ground there (23.30), Delta are showing the flight as cancelled.

 

[Len Fish]

Returned due to maggots, I kid you not!

2 x RNAF Apaches flew over Bingley earlier. Woke me up after quite a late one yesterday. They were routing from Carlisle, just not sure where to

 

[twevsmiff]

Ok it is strictly not in our zone(but above it by just 1000') and should have been visible to people in the South Leeds/Wakefield area. A.330-200 OO-LCL(Air Belgium 310P) was overhead Morley(0735) flying at 9000' routing from Bangor to Woensdrecht, obviously non-pressurized all the way. It is currently as I type working Humberside Radar for "Advisory Service"!!!!!!

Lancaster PA474(Lancester 93) just called Leeds Radar, routing from Coningsby to Prestwick at 9000'. Wnting to route overhead Leeds/East, Harrogate(1710), Skipton

About to fly directly over head(1210) at 34,000'-
Maximus Air Cargo AN-224 UR-ZYD(MXM 3721) enroute Amman to Prestwick

Probably full of replacement parts for the Global A380. Either that or taking bits of it to the scappers on departure!!!!!!

 

[twevsmiff]

AW.139 G-LAWA(Castle 3) just entering zone at Harrogate(1640) routing from Newcastle to Battersea. More interesting however, he is in formation with EC-155 3A-MJM.

Airbus a400 prop RAF straight over the LBA, noticeable noise.

I heard that too. It was surprisingly loud.

I don't know if anyone else spotted it earlier this afternoon but Emirates B777 -300 EK36 service from Newcastle to Dubai which usually heads out of NCL in a S/SW direction then turns left over the top of the Dales and heads out over Nidderdale to the coast took a very different route today routing over Malham, Manchester and Birmingham exiting the UK just west of Brighton.
