I read the apache off as ZJ191 at about 08:45. Didn't see the Italian - haven't seen it since it's wash-rack excursion several weeks ago.
G-MCGO was out Wednesday and Thursday this week.
Off on holi-bobs tonight for 2 weeks, so no further reports from me prior to Xmas. Merry Xmas/Bah Humbug to everyone

Thanks Phil. I didn't expect you to drive down specially.
Are you still driving that old Audi, or have you upgraded to the new teleporter model?
Ciao,
