Did anyone go?

I got it on Scottish control on route, or at least I'm 90% sure it was that, definitely said it was on a training flight.

I went, I had to leave at 16.00, I know it was schedule to visit, the queen flew from Doncaster, the Dreamliner was supposed to arrive for 15.25, with the queen having a look around it before she flew out. There was an AWACs doing practise approaches most of the afternoon.

I'm convinced I had the Dreamliner on the scanner then, as the timings all match \:D/ \:D/


And on a compleatly different note =)) The AWACS was NATO30 saw it take off from waddo :)) was doing a schedualed PD at doncaster (what ever one of those is =)) =)) )
And the Royal flight interupted the Tornado from Coningsby because the tornado wanted to use the range, but Queenie had booked it for an hour =)) Not sure what she was going to do with it, but we had a fun conversation about it =)) =)) Maybe you had to have been there =))

The weather was very poor, I wonder if the Dreamliner decided to give it a miss with this in mind.

These shots show how bad the light was.
