Afternoon all, from a grey and damp South Wales.

That nice Mr Drakeford has let us all go out to play, so naturally the rain has set in ever since.

The local airport has been turned into its own brand of "Purple Parking" of late. Any other traffic has been particularly transient in nature, with the only other long-staying aircraft now a handful of BA 777s utilising the maintenance here.

In no particular order then;


When I said transient I meant it. Global Trek getting the occasional ferry flight amidst the many football charters and increasingly less normal US military flights.

The sun made an appearance for an interesting set of ferry flights

They're easily viewable from "dogsh*t alley"

Sports charters constitute most of the traffic at the moment

The odd biz jet still pop through (one went to Bermuda when we were in full lockdown which I accepted passively and with no angry rants in the household at all!)

A surprise PPE flight appeared, with talk of possibly more to come

As ever, appreciate you all taking the time to look. Looking forward to the day I can head over the bridge to LHR and others. Until then we'll content ourselves with whatever comes our way.
