Fantastic Ross! Thanks! Just noticed the A400M from Akrotiri on FR24 as I was checking out the 757 United flight passing over my back garden. Might have a better look at the A400M when it departs. Will be keeping an eye out for the C17 unless it's already departed. Low cloud overhead, so will get brief glimpses.
Well that's PLANE to see!

Great! At least I hope to see that! The A400M just departed and low cloud completely obscured it, but I did hear it!!

Hi Ross Forsyth, thank you for the heads up on the C-17, I knew the A.400 was coming in and would have just watched it from my back window, but when I read your post on the C-17 just had to get out and see it, bonus or what!? Great to see both at the same time........

Cheers again.

It departed a bit later than 15:15, but despite that, I managed to film it at the mound by CG6. That coupled with a Hearts win definitely made my weekend.
Well that's PLANE to see!
