We're suppose to get some Sahara sand but I haven't seen any particularly vivid sunsets yet :-0

While I'm out, I will look for planes too.

Their flight paths can be seen as they approach to cross The Channel.

Not noticed any different colour, so far.

Enjoy your evening, Fly <3

Belle, so true.
Family have stopped over there to and from New Zealand, so the war has a far-reaching effect :-(

We have chinooks over here quite often en route to an Army training range.

Very distinctive.

My Niece and Family are going to Japan at the end of March and I'm sure my SiL said they were going via Dubai :-0

Where did you go via Von :-)

LondonBelle

LondonBelle Report 5 Mar 2026 19:49

Yes, they don't sound like the police or air ambulance helicopters suppose because of the twin sets of blades :-0

Von

Von Report 5 Mar 2026 19:50

They sound complely different from any other aircraft . We have all sorts of military

head quarters near us so it’s not surprising. ;-)

Von

Von Report 5 Mar 2026 19:52

We flew direct Belle. Can’t be done with stopovers. However it’s a very long flight

because of diversion because of the Ukraine war. :-(

There was a woman in Bali yesterday who was to get to the UK via Dubai.....she was told that if they got her to Dubai she would have to pay for hotel and food for possibly up to 2 weeks. The Alternative was to go back by a different route which would be very expensive too......none of the options were covered by her insurance because War is not covered :-0 :-0

More gardening tomorrow, Belle or are you letting your muscles recover? ;-)

Do you think your council will ever change to wheelie bins for garden waste?

Ours is £63.90 for this year :-0

Von

Von Report 5 Mar 2026 19:55

Our neighbour kindly took our garden waste to the tip today :-D

LondonBelle Report 5 Mar 2026 19:55
