BAW194 approaching landsend.

Have him on comms

[DaveG]

ATC asking him to hold over Lands End

[Runway 31]

17V told he has to go to Shannon

[orkney]

hello

Hopfully this will be sorted soon not only because we cant see planes on our radarbox but also the scottish "government " has decided to (at short notice) to remove the MV Hamavoe from the stromness scrabster route to take some tourists from Norway back to the UK and also the shetland to Aberdeen sailing won't go past kirkwall until the airspace is open so now there is not only limited flights but also a limited ferry service with only pentland ferries (relatively) small boat going between orkney and scotland and nothing going to be going (air or sea) to shetland.

At least we have had some non private flights logged although the ash forcast isn't looking too good yet.

What frequency.?

[bratters]

Boy oh boy  -  this is getting interesting! Whats hapening to 102?

[tarbat]

So, several BA flights now in holds awaiting clearance.  Looks like Willie Walsh is playing "call my bluff".

[DaveG]

102 almost over Birmingham heading south

Edit:  he's now on a 360 turn

[bratters]

BAW102 course change from SE to SW - Ireland? Shannon?

[tarbat]

102 almost over Birmingham heading south

And into a holding pattern.

Hi Andrew, is your RadarBox on the network in Orkney. I have just ordered one today, and hopefully be here for weekend then I'll join network from up here in Shetland. Hopefully a bit more coverage further north.

The Easyjet also looks like it is holding.
