Presumably destined to become/revert to G-OOPP, G-OOPT and G-OOOX respectively.

757's C-GTBB and C-FODH both off Prestwick and heading south east, I would expect to Luton as well, both heading in the direction of LAKEY.

Two Sky Service airlines flying very low altitude and doing a lot of maneuvering heading south east over Waddington,presumably to avoid dust cloud?.

[Tricatus]

C-FLOX arriving at Luton a few minutes ago, or somewhere nearby ;-) mmmmmm...

[Tricatus]

C-GTDG arrives. That's better!

[Runway 31]

C-GTBB and C-FODH both look loke they are inbound Manchester

Have a BAe-146 : Flight Metman reg G-LUXE on screen just now. Flying for Facility For Atmospheric Measurements.

I've just discovered 3 more BA inbounds from Orlando, Antigua and Barbados, all headed for Gatwick. These will, alomost certainly, be diverted to another airport.

I think that now makes 15 BA planes on the move at present.

[Runway 31]

Nope wrong they both descended to 3000 ft but are continueing south.

[Runway 31]

Sorry miss-identified my airports, 1st one turning finals Manchester this time.

Was listening on 127.430 and watching ANRB, noted 10 UK overflights inc
DLH474 D-AIKL A333 EDDM-CYUL, KLM757 PH-KCA MD11 EHAM-MPTO
MPH639 PH-MCJ B763 EHAM-MMUN.The KLM pilot tried to ''pump'' the controller about the opening of British airports, but he politely denied any knowledge

BAA LHR website now showing all arrivals as Cancelled, despite the fact that we know several are in the air and will presumably divert ...
