    Have you tried RadarBox24.com Gives ground movements in SNN. Not sure how accurate it is.
    It is on a BA and NATS trial today. SNN has been chosen as a divert airport as well as CWL and STN. As BA has said there will be a series of visits to these airports. Anyone who missed today should keep a look out for future visits.

    I saw her fly over me this morning. I'm on the Wexford/Kilkenny border. She was quite low. Could make her out very clearly

    This picture of the maintenance crew and marshals underneath the plane make it look absolutely massive. Wish I could have seen it in person as it truly is a sight to see.



    EDIT: Apologies for the link, picture won't embed :confused:

    I was there (I can see myself in that video too) and it was pretty cool tbh. A lot quieter than I expected both for landing and for takeoff. It is huge! Very elegant and graceful in flight as well. I'll have a few pics/videos up later on, when I get a chance to process them. I was glad I was out there today :D

    The size relative to the JFK bound A318 is pretty impressive!

    Great shot! Passed my window this morning..a thing of beauty and much quieter than I thought it would be., especially as it is so big.
