Look out for AAC068 on it's way back North now, just passing Colchester. Overflew Heathrow and Northolt on the way around London.

HEX 43C24B was confirmed last week as ZJ186. (Actually one of the easier fins to read).

Tom,
Why 'Waterfront' please?

It’s not what you look at that matters. It’s what you see.

No idea on the history of it, but it is a commonly used term for the main aircraft pan.

maybe a red herring but Viper 1 on 21st was noted via FR24 as being 43C267 (ZJ210) so would fit the sequence
