Very strange times.

How strange it is with this virus stuff, last night out in the lambing shed, l heard a noise, it was an airplane, we stay near the flyte path for Edinburgh and there are no planes in the sky at all, l said to my wife l wonder where and who was on that one plane at 10 o'clock last night. Strange time indeed. But store cattle and sheep + grit ewes at Stirling tomorrow.

It will be someone of wealth fleeing to a supposed “safe place”

Should have mooned them if I was you

Probably some billionaire in his private jet escaping to a hideaway, just like the plague in previous centuries.

Could just as easily been military or freight

By all accounts the planet is starting to show many signs of healing itself, remind me how many thousands of cows and sheep have been killed off by China19 to bring about this phenomenon?

 

[Purli R]

Mart as normal then?

Strange how we’ve heard nothing much from the Royal family. I’d have thought at least a televised uplifting speech .
Gone very quiet

There was 1 aeroplane went over here, mid afternoon. Normal flight path and looked like a commercial flight.

Another went over tonight about 6:45. Definitely NOT on the normal flight path - flying West-East across Dumfries & Galloway. I couldn't tell what it was, but it was leaving huge vapour trails... I saw it coming a long, long way off (clear skies) over the hills towards Stewartry and by the time it was over me, it had climbed to a hell of a height and had virtually disappeared to the naked eye.... very strange

Been a B2 at Fairford this week, perhaps going home?

Flightradar is the app you need

Hours of fun

No thanks.

I live below the flight path of every English flight which goes to Glasgow or the USA - they all head to the marker in the Solway Firth (where the 2 planes in the top left of England are in your pic), before turning and heading to Prestwick air control before leaving UK across the Atlantic

The B2's went almost a week ago, I only saw the 2, unsure if there were any more over.

Commercial flight heading for Stansted must be a queue as they don't normally circle us

 

[pappuller]

We live overlooking the M6 I can't remember the time I can only hear the birds first thing in a morning. Social distancing does have its benefits

A few weeks back on a Friday morning myself and the young lad that works for me went out to lift a few turnips the hard way just to keep some drawn fat lambs ticking over until sale the following Tuesday. Anyway it was a clear sky and we counted at least10 big jets all from Germany heading to USA (could see them on flight radar24)flying in a 50mile wide corridor above us. Roll on this Friday and at the same sort of time I looked up after hearing a big jet. Clear sky again. 1 747 heading from Frankfurt to Seattle I kept an eye out for his buddies but none of the fleet that passed over previous were up there.

I wonder how long this will go on and I wonder how many of those big jets will never fly again, pretty sure there already were plans to pension off a lot of 747/A380s this might just hasten that.

I was just commenting earlier, I wonder what things will never be the same again. Shops that find 12 weeks closed means that the customer base gets used to shopping online and decide never to open high street stores again for 1.

I’ve been looking at fight radar a bit lately. Seems loads of private planes about. Probably always there but just didn’t show because of the rest of them. I didn’t hear the one that goes from Birmingham to UAE every Sunday at 10.30pm in bed last night. We get a lot of Birmingham flights over us here in West Suffolk.

 

[Yale]

Funny enough I saw this one this morning from the US.

FX34 due to land in Stansted just after 4... Nice little package of parts on there from Texas not due here on paper til the 3rd April. They'll be here tomorrow. Give it a wave

lot of billionaires

still quite a lot of flights happening according to flight radar

Maybe not a bad thing to show that reduced air travel has greatly improved air qualiry
