@Sx60Contrails Lovely, do like it when a Frenchbee goes overhead in clear conditions

French Bee A350-941, F-HREN, ORY-SFO 36,000ft. 24/4/24. #P1000 #avgeek #aviationdaily #aviationloers.

@flightradar24 Currently dumping fuel on its circuits

#WK34 from Zurich to Punta Cana is squawking 7700 indicating a general emergency, reason currently unknown. fr24.com/EDW34N/3327c057

@AirbusRed Judging by all the carefully removed window surrounds I suspect someone has an eye to making a few quid from it, besides the parting out for maintenance of other 747s

I hope our favourite upcycling experts are saving some BOAC Jumbo bits here 🥴

@JTTsteve Some good photo opportunities on this track so far plus a QR A350 and others earlier!

Basically same route as yesterday, but no planned fuel stop in CAI. Of course it’s there for us if we need it!

@JamieClode No idea, but the increase of them coming to the heliport is because they can now hot fuel there

@CardiffOTT Anyone know why chinooks been flying over Cardiff 3 nights in a row this week? #thatsound

@Sx60Contrails I'm in Pembs this weekend but with easterly wind it wouldn't approach over the house. Taking the scenic route though right out over the Celtic Sea

Caribbean Airlines 737 heading to DGX @CardiffOTT

@Sx60Contrails Cheers, had heard it was on its way. Photo later, though made an atypical approach so was futher away. Annoyed I missed getting a shot of the New England Patriots B767 which went east n of Cardiff earlier

Nesma airlines A319 heading to DGX @CardiffOTT

@markparbhoo Some 14 hours later here's @markparbhoo and G-ZBLA over Cardiff at 08:05 this morning descending through FL300 on the approach to LHR - looks like you had a nice view this morning

A very shiny and clean #B787-10 G-BZLA today to go to #Boston

@chris_aerospace @Sx60Contrails @EGLLSpotter @Welshmonitor @Frazer_Aero_UK Sadly never come this way of course. Just had the E4 go over at 30000' - cloudy 😞

Still not good but better than nothing. #KoreanAirCargo #B744 #LHR earlier this evening. @Sx60Contrails @EGLLSpotter @Welshmonitor @CardiffOTT @Frazer_Aero_UK @CardiffOTT

@Sx60Contrails Looks like runway 12 is in use so may get a chance

Arrival might be a bit early, but maybe you can get it departing @CardiffOTT

@Donnerkebap1 Very nice, bit of extra reach rarely goes amiss - you could even stick the 1.4x on that

Air France B777 F-GSQV 7 miles above Surrey on the way to LAX (hey @CardiffOTT I’m having a go at trying to emulate your excellent over the top photos using my D500 and my Nikkor 800mm f5.6 AI-S lens - hope you approve!)

@PaulBrinkworth2 My go to is signup.360radar.co.uk it's web-based and you have to pay £21 a year but well worth it for UK tracking. There are others available but 360 has the best graphics by far

@foxyknoxy99 Stacking can reduce noise and preserve details enough to allow you to enlarge the file in PS so that a frame filling shot of the moon can go from c1400px to c2500px (D500+500f4+1.4x)

Trying some stacked #moon images, but can't improve on the quality of a single frame (yet!). This one from Wed evening.

@olops Most likely this, would have been about 3000' and about 16:45

Reminds me - a passenger plane was unusually low over Cardiff yesterday, directly above us near Vic Park. Scarily so, in fact. 5ish?

@foxyknoxy99 @AntonovCompany Nice - glad you had clear skies!

Should be able to edit this one nicely! Fantastic sight @AntonovCompany #AN225 straight though the MAN overhead #avgeek #aviation

@RobbbinG @NWSAcaster @Su39frogfoot Clouded out here too unfortunately, though did see it on its way north on 27/06. Let's hope there's a clear slot for Atlantique 16 FNY5110 which is following it south, currently over the Lake District

Unusual aircraft overhead today. Heard its unusual sound but clouded out. #BreguetAtlantic of #frenchnavy heading South. @CardiffOTT @NWSAcaster @Su39frogfoot

@CivMilAir Notice it's now showing on ADSB-ex as 99-6143! Took off from MHZ at 12:10 as RCH598

Special Ops / Foreign Emergency Support Team plane - unusual for one of these to be on a QID callsign 🤔 🇺🇸 US Air Force C-32B 02-5001

@cvvhrn 1 frame of c30 taken useable!

@AirbusRed @metoffice Beautiful, rarely see proper individual cells down this neck of the woods to get shots like that

Mature cumulonimbus moving through Cheshire lighting up the evening sky so beautifully 🌩 In awe of the power of nature when watching these. #cumulonimbus #Thunderstorms #Cheshire @metoffice #ukweather

@chrisholley12 @Phil78791616 @freedar_uk @CivMilAir Sea King XV666 - was being tracked on 360radar

@Phil78791616 @freedar_uk @CardiffOTT @CivMilAir this flew over Cardiff just before 12 not something you see often but nothing on tracker apps
