Departed on 5th.

They had 9Y-LHR and 9Y-LGW. The clue is in the registrations. Yes they were regular visitors to these shores, so your log is valid.

Andy,

Do you know where the Laudamotion A320s are being parked. Are they visible whilst still socially distancing, and not invading no go areas?

EI-NEW took a very friendly route over Kent, just east of Biggin Hill, so easily seen and logged!
