I'm listening to the A10 on Radar/PAR to Leeming at the moment.

Excellent - I have picked up A10's before when they've been over, but not for a long time.

400D98 G-SIRA E135 09/02/03. It's operated by Amsair (owner Alan Michael Sugar, hence the SIR-A registration) Outbound from BHD George Best Airport using c/s TWIN JET 2.

Now that's just plane ostentatious!

AE147A CNV4303 166693 2009/02/03 saw this USAF Boeing C40-A similar I believe to Tramline's Boxer 45 above.

Sorry re CNV4303 above as I see it is a US Navy flight thanks to Rod Bearden's excellent logos. CNV - U.S. Navy Reserve Logistic Air Forces

John,

Just for info - the CNV stands for 'Convoy', so his callsign is actually Convoy 4303.

RAF unusually busy for a Friday night, WAD 51 Nimrod R1(XW665) and E3D (ZH106) both flying tonight.

Nimrod c/s is Vulcan 51. He's working the East coast, training.

Hi Stuart,

No, I haven't got him on the radio. He is in MyFlights. I'm in Bury St Edmunds, see sig block below.
