Got one!

[bratters]

G-TUGY RobinDR-Regent of Buckminster Gliding Club at 4310 ft 1600hrs.

Any prizes for spotting a plane today?

Just got back from the hospital, and checked my log.  One aircraft - G-SASB - Air Ambulance helicopter.  That's all.  It's strangely quiet without any Tornados flying.

EDIT: Just had a call from a friend in Shetland to ask about my health, they report a sulphur like smell in the air.

[Team Spirit]

Just seen G-COLA flyby at around 1700 feet westbound and an Army Lynx with skids and camo livery going East around 1000 feet in the last few minutes and have currently '0 FLIGHTS' on my local antenna .. really weird !!

I arrived back into the UK from my holiday to Hong Kong (via Istanbul) today and landed at LHR this morning at 10:22am on Turkish A340 TC-JDM.  Had I recieved a delay I would be in an overnight hotel in Istanbul.

Since getting home I have logged three light aircraft from Wycombe Air Park and Citation G-JBIS which appears to have left Farnborough low level VFR and remained at 5000ft until reaching the channel.  It is currently climbing into French commercial airspace over the channel.

Couple of hours ago I had the Derbys Cops' Eurocopter G-NMID plus a pair of Army Lynxs ZF538 and ZG887.

So not a total washout.

Two Bond Dauphins at 1000ft on my box servicing Morecambe Bay rigs.

I still have 63 on my RB(s.e. Netherlands), but northern netherlands is quiet, few in/out Schiphol.

[bratters]

Going mad here.

G-BHNA Cessna F152 and G-XERO Czech Aircraft Works sport cruise.

[bratters]

and there's more:

G-BYTI Piper Commanche / PH-VFC  PA28  /  G-OSOH Cessna Citation /  AAC-942 Lynx (army)

Doesn't the embargo apply to all but military and emergency?

Going.....Going....Gone !

Doesn't the embargo apply to all but military and emergency?

Only applies to aircraft above certain flight levels surely? Plenty of light aircraft and helos around.

[DaveReid]

Yes, it's controlled airspace that's closed. 

I don't think NATS has the authority to stop aircraft flying VFR in uncontrolled airspace, and it would appear that the danger posed by the dust at low level is minimal - at least I hope so !

[viking9]

Have Challenger 600 G-CHAI at 2150' passing WOD heading for WILLO squawk 7000

[Pinza]

Have D-CALM Dornier 228 of Natural Environment Research Council (Mode S 3CC12A) at 15000ft over the Midlands at present (1907BST)

Also unknown Mode S 404D91 at a very low 390ft
