Have you checked you havent got 2 aircraft with the same Mode S code,  G-TCBA used to be G-OOOY, just a thought.

Regards

You're not alone.  

I have never noted G-TCBA in my network capture log either, despite the fact that it's in my local BaseStation log several times a day.

I'll be equally interested to learn the reason for it.

thank god for that so its not just me !!

Checking the logs of our RadarBox in London. It has picked it up in the last few days (last flight being TCX48MV) but its never been recorded as having ADS-B which would explain why its not on the network.

Or are we saying it does have ADS-B?

Hello

This one was noted twice here on the 5th may this year, going in to and out of Aberdeen EGPD going be the start and end altitudes. Both times it had no ADS-B.

77 times this year, and not once ADS-B

I'm about a mile east off the glideslope into EGCC where this fella spends most of his time
