Flight TOM 081 just off west coast of Ireland inbound from MDPP to EGKK seems to be heading for Belfast probably.
Scotland would probably be more use to the passengers who presumably want to go to Gatwick. At least they can get a train or coach laid on.

hello
looks more like it is going to Glasgow EGPF now.
Andrew
Seems to be heading for Glasgow,long train or bus journey back to Gatwick.
Wouldn't fancy the journey from there by coach back to EGKK after such a long overnight flight.
Maybe not but what is the alternative, bet there are lots of people who wish they were getting back. There are a number of flights diverting into Glasgow and Prestwick around 6 at the last count during the late morning and early afternoon. Its goos to see something on the scren again.

Too right. I have a long list of airports round the world I would NOT want to be sitting in for an indefinite period. :(
Anyone getting much local stuff? I've had 4 light planes pottering abut thus far.
Nothing rxd on Mode S, but single Squirrel helicopter using callsign "Osprey 57" has been operating in the Island of Hoy area of Orkney this morning - probably transferring smolts between fish cages.

Tnx for info, Andrew
Hope it is doing smolt tansfers from Hoy and not fire-fighting !!
Heard flight TOM 093 working Shanwick Oceanic on HF being told only airports open are Glasgow, Prestwick and Belfast.
Didn't get longitude but lat was 60N - also given VHF freq of 132.73MHz to contact Scottish Control, presumably at Oceanic boundary which I think is 10 W (?).
Hello smcm
Just curious but how do you listen to HF as we are interested as we can only do VHF at the moment. Do you mind saying what type of scanner and frequencies you use?
Thanks
Andrew

Very good but i am out in the sticks as we say over here

Hi Andrew
Most aircraft HF is on 5-6 MHz or 8-9 Mhz using USB (upper sideband)mode.
Shannon VOLMET is on 5.505 MHz and Shanwick Oceanic use various frequencies but 5.649 MHz is quite active.
There are scanners which cover HF but not sure how good they are - you would most likely need an external wire antenna for best results.
You can email me for more info.
