From the plot in MyCircles (admittedly not very accurate) it looks as if the Saudi might have gone in to Northolt or Heathrow. I lost him at 4,000 ft.

Thanks Stuart. Wherever he's gone he'll probably be up tomorrow.

Another interesting one - Gulfstream 550 N676RW at 26,725. Squawking 7630 but transmitting no other info. Owner is shown in airframes.org as TVPX / Stallion Acquisitions. USA reg info says 'Aircraft Type - Government'. Suspiciously like one of those MIB types.

The Bundespolizei Super Puma is out and about again - with full ADS-B information :-)

Another interesting one; 484607, Dornier 228-212, PH-CGN c/s NCG01 currently flying along the Dutch coast at 955 ft.

Just checked his squawk, it's 5177 which is the Control and Reporting Centre at RAF Boulmer.

Airforce 2, carrying the US Vice President is descending to Mildenhall at this time. Mode S is ADFEB8 Boeing C-32A 98-0002.

I hope this isn't a stupid question, I noted the Mode S code ADFEB8 (todays date) is this a unique code created for this flight/day or remains the same and is just a coincidence?

AE189A - C/S SPAR12 a C-40, 737-7DM BBJ currently somewhere over Scotland. Any ideas of destination?

Mode-S not yet on RB Servers!!

RodBearden · February 08, 2009, 03:22:56 PM

John - well spotted!

I'm sure it's pure coincidence - I guess it must have had that Mode S code since it was delivered - unfortunately for the theory, in May 1998 (according to Airframes.org)

Perhaps, like the British Queen, it has, as well as its delivery date, an official birthday, and today's the day!

N676RW Belongs to the COCA COLA Company I've got a photo of same @ Luton (EGGW) but that just might be a cunning disguise :o)

YR-BIC just heading westbound over southwest. Shows S mode as 4A0923. Any ideas as to what aircraft this is ? Any help much appreciated.
