The only interesting flight that I've noticed recently was a Canadian Air Force C-130 heading from Belfast to Canada. Only reason I spotted it was because of the noise as it was still climbing (about 50 mile from the airport).

Had to cheat on Nur-Sultan!

Well it has had a few names in recent history!
Todays midday 747 was particularly noisy, I think because of the strong Westerly wind it was over us before gaining as much height as usual.

Just heard a really noisy plane rather low, glanced outside and could see an A380 climbing away.
Singapore Airlines 9V-SKM off predictably to Singapore. Didn't know they were back in the air.

Something popped up on my YouTube recommended list a couple of weeks ago regarding the A380. Did a quick history search and found it:

Also found this article today from the same person specifically about the BA A380s:

Have only ever seen them sitting at the airport gate, but nice to see that most of the airlines are bringing them back.

Currently 3 B52 Stratofortress above the UK

And the Beluga has almost reached Chester!

And a few StratoTankers cruising about as well. Maybe for the B52s?

HATE11, HATE12 subtle call signs on the B52s!

Busy times, an RAF C-17 just grumbled over us on its way out of Northolt.

Had the same thought when I saw that screenshot.

Apparently they were doing practice 'bombing runs'!

The B52 over The Wash dropped to 3300ft and did a few passes. Would loved to have seen that. Soon afterwards they all landed at Fairford. Few days ago had a USAF Osprey pass right over Norwich. Sure is busy!

I lived in Nur-Sultan until recently.

Flying in the UK a few years ago, a cell of B-52s joined our radio freq'- 'RIPPER formation', on their way to the Middle East.

Anyone who'se seen Dr. Strangelove will know the significance of 'RIPPER'.:ROFL:
