Hi All; Third instalment from Bucharest and my second visit to Banasea after a report that there was a view from upstairs in Ikea. Not any more. Any view from any window that there may have been has now gone. I walked down the road between Ikea and the airport looking for the two AN-2’s that can be ...

Hello again; Further to my last report, I have just returned from the walk to Banasea from the hotel, around a 5 mile round trip. Wasted my time unfortunately. Despite some reports I read from a few years ago, saying that it was possible to spot from both the car park to the side of the terminal and...

Hello once again from Lagos; Down here once again for a week this time. Of interest this morning was Dana Air MD-80 5N-DEV departing Lagos using it’s reg as callsign instead of the usual Dana callsign and it had an American pilot on the radio in place of the usual Nigerian voice. Maybe it is leaving...

Hi All; Full log for your perusal today, should you wish to partake. Took another couple of shots of Allied Air Cargo 734F 5N-JRT today, better shots than yesterday so I have deleted the older ones from Flickr and replaced with the ones below. Apparently, one of their other 734’s 5N-RKT, is sat in D...

Hi All; Just arrived back in Lagos for a short stay this time around. No log today but I thought I would share pics of the latest Allied Air Cargo’s 734F, it having arrived in the last week or so. I cannot find any details on this reg 5N-JRT?... https://www.flickr.com/photos/superspotter/13992308151...

Hi All; Well, I suppose it makes a change from Lagos  On a course at EMA and as it was a beautiful day I looked on Google Earth to decide where to visit that was not too far away and up came Tollerton, as good a place as any. Last visit here was 20 years ago so maybe a little overdue… Tollerton Tue...

HI all; Last full day here for a short spell then back on Good Friday for another two weeks, I have definitely upset somebody… Not a great deal happening here at the moment, a “new” Bristows S-76 was sat on the cargo ramp this morning, courtesy of Cargolux, details below. The reg was covered up but ...

Thank you Michiel, I will continue to do so!
kind regards clive.

Azman Air have yet to begin service, one of the 737’s appeared here again this morning using the reg as callsign and the callsign...

Hi All; Spending this week in Bratislava babysitting the 767. This airport is now very quiet with only Ryanair the remaining scheduled airline. Danube Wings have appear to have ceased ops or are only undertaking charter flights. The problem for this airport is that it is too close to Vienna and ther...

Hi all; Arrived back in Lagos this afternoon for a two week stint. Well finally, the last Boeing 727 of Allied Air Cargo has now been withdrawn from use. 5N-JNR joined BMQ on the freight ramp. They have now started to dismantle BMQ with the nose cone and number two engine having parted company from ...

Hello again all; Greeting from Lagos. Azman Air are now up and operating with 5N-HAI putting in two appearances today but using the reg as callsign and not an Azman flight number. Also, further to my comments yesterday regarding the Swiftair 734F, it is due to be replaced within the next 20 days dow...
