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

Guernsey flight has landed at Liverpool in the end.

It's just coming down towards stanstead now

Anyone seen Forte 11

Seems to have taken off from somewhere off Italy in the Ionian sea

Going to the Ukraine.

Flying at 50,000 ft

A USAF Surveillance craft. According to twitter

@cakeorwine

Yeah, it's circling Ukraine near Poltava.

I'm watching FORTE11 in the Ukraine, LAGR241 over Poland and JAKE21 coming down the east coast of Britain

A USAF Surveillance craft

I'll bet it is!

On last nights run you could see it started from Sicily and spiralled rapidly up - tonight it evidently didn't get tracked till it was up to 50,000 ft (or whatever height is indicated by the line becoming red)

You can see from the info on Flightradar24 it's a drone. One of these

In the old days, they relied on basic plots from radar stations and plane spotters in the country to see what planes were coming in to bomb Britain. Now we can just see it all on a live feed on a device.

I do find this amazing.

JAKE21 has been circling for hours around Ukraine. Presumably on his way home to Mildenhall?

Is it bad weather around stansted?

Yes, I'm under the flight path for both Stansted and Luton. We lost another fence panel tonight.
