Lockdown Log, Somerset- 23-03 to 19-04

[Cessna954]

The good weather has made it possible to do a bit of dot spotting from the Somerset/Wiltshire borders. All the following spotted from the confines of home since the lockdown began, just under 4 weeks ago. With the good weather forecast to continue, here's hoping for some more dots of interest.

Thanks, Bob, but all blank days since the 16th!!!!!

Like many I'm working from home and have the SBS Box running, but if I'm engrossed in my work the day flies by and I don't pay much attention to what's passing on airways.

Month 2 of lockdown was spent still working from home and keeping an eye open for passing aircraft. GA started flying again during May and many pilots took the opportunity of the good weather to head to the south coast, via Somerset. A total of 74 in the book for the period, which is quite respectable considering at times the skies over much of the UK have been empty.
