Hey b757 another military plane just flew low over north Bedfordshire, not sure of the model but the surveillance one with the disc on top. Not seen one before! Who's is it?

Do you mean the E-3 Sentry?

Yeah, a village in the north.

How come? Are there air restrictions around routine flights (the copter) like that, even if any Royal is on board? I'm probably sounding terribly naive here aren't I..

Ach, I was just being silly thinking about how often that would have happened in the past.

Anyway, back to planes:

BaE Systems 146 (G-TYPH):

FR336 you're not referring to Luton by any chance (Bedfordshire)? Have nice memories there at an EZY assessment day in the stelios days, Nice place Luton, suppose its changed a lot since 2004

Barely anything has changed, and a road or two were and are the only nice parts. The airport is also a bit lame but compared to the rest it's paradise.

Ahhh unlucky. I was born in Bedford, not the best but actually is pretty nice compared to Luton!

I feel like I deserve a prize hahaha

.. Agree though I'd say the airport has improved since 2004, was a kip back when I was there! I suppose I caught Luton on a good day

Well as you know I'm a very generous kinda guy so your prize will be this - you can come stay here in my house in the promise land. Indefinitely. This is however no frills and I take no responsibility for anything. In return I want your house in the wasteland that is Ireland

I can't believe you were in the town centre if you thought it was decent here - honestly the only nice part is along the A6 out to nicer parts of Bedfordshire. Don't think much has changed with the airport - take a look on Streetview. Terminal redevelopment shortly though I believe.

P.S. If EasyLand became RyanairLand, I might up my opinion slightly.

Yep as FR336 points out callsign is still Aer Arann and the IATA/ICAO's still RE/REA - They should keep it, the name should not totally die off in my opinion - They have replaced ''operated by Aer Arann'' on the aircraft with ''Operated by Stobart Air'' now alright though.

Stobarts heli is giving up its call sign shortly. Once that happens the old "Arann" call sign will cease to be used.

"The Queen's Helicopter Flight" (S-76 G-XXEB) approaching north Wales:

I am surprised they are broadcasting this...

The are required too, unless they want to be stuck in Class G airspace under visual flight rules, dodging around every area of controlled airspace.

Some of the chartered business jets that are used by the Royal household have full ADS-B and it isn't degraded when They are onboard.

Plus, of course, they shout Sparrowhawk and Kittyhawk in the clear over ATC frequencies

Well flybe still call themselves 'Jersey' on ATC so the name may well remain.
