Flightradar 24 storm watchers #2

[liveforsummer]

As the other thread is filling up and things are just starting to get real. Here's the next instalment.

Ha ha I need to do some work! And wordle! I am transfixed! All we need now is a channel interviewing the people getting off the planes too!

Local radio station just talking about watching big jet tv while the songs are playing. Wonder if he gets record viewer numbers today

@TheFairyCaravan I can beat you at that, I am doing the ironing too as well as all the others 😆
How I havent burnt myself I don't know 🤔

Stansted looks to be diverting quite a few. Vilnius also headed north. Few circling.

@givemeallthecheese

Wonder if she's a mumsnetter too!

There was a pilots wife on thread one I'm sure

Cork is diverting to Edinburgh! Those poor sods, you can’t get much further from Gatwick.

Ryanair Cork-Gatwick diverted to Edinburgh!

Cork to LGW now diverted to Edinburgh. That's a bit of a detour.

I love that this man works so hard to film all these flights and today it has paid off.
I'd watch this channel anyway, without the storm.

There are no trains down to London from Edinburgh either today!

Birmingham looks to be having a rough time. Most flights cancelled.

I cannot watch YouTube channel, flight tracker and mumsnet all at same time 🤔😄 they are all on phone

I'm a bit worried about the horses on the video feed.

We’re watching Heathrow! So glad I am not on a plane.

@BrennieGirl often the safest place for them in a storm is outside where they can move out of the way of danger and seek shelter. When they panic indoors with falling debris etc or roofs off it's much worse. Those ponies look fine and have lots of hay which is how they keep warm

@BrennieGirl me too 😕

They were acting rather nonchalant to it all when they were investigating his van not long ago.

Watched my son's flight take off from Heathrow so he's ok now. Phew. He had to wait onboard for quite a while while they waited for a gap to take off!

They look well fed alright but they seem very jittery.

Vilnius to Stanstead had two aborted landings, diverted to East Mids where it's just had another one. Poor buggers.

Anyway, sorry to derail.

Hardly any trains from Gatwick to London - delays/cancellations to all London stations from there (signalling problems at Horley, tree on track at Balham though that might be clear now, and summat else up in Croydon)

is there only heathrow live feeds?
im meant to be doing housework but no sat here drinking coffee and eating peanuts while watching on fascinated

Cork almost at Edinburgh. They took off at 9.40, should have landed at 10.55!

Not sure where this plane is going but it looks diverted.
