Re: Lockdown Garden Spots

Not posted for a while, so rather a lot this time. Since the easing of the lockdown last week, GA is very noticeably back. 7th May N109FE 2014 Boeing 767-3S2F(ER) from Dublin to Stansted as Fedex FX5201. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49920423373_1002e16579_b.jpg 9th May TF-AMP 1990 Boeing 747-...

Re: Lockdown Garden Spots

One from Sunday. PH-MPS 1990 Boeing 747-412 (BCF) from Miami to Schiphol (although FlightRadar said it was going to Stansted, which did seem rather unlikely when it was still at 35,000 feet over me in Bedford). First time I've ever seen a Martinair aircraft. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49796...

Nothing at all yesterday, a couple of light twins today. Also the Magpas air ambulance again, but I won't bore you with more pictures of that.

Lockdown Garden Spots
