Yeah, what is the reason for that? It doesn't seem to happen to other types but always to the Avros

Huge international event happens on FR24. Nobody on here see's it?

Live ATC have recordings of it too.

As it turns out I was unknowingly following this on Fr last night. Unable to sleep, instead of counting sheep, flicked on Fr to see what was out there - that was about 3.15 am. I noticed the plane in red - the photo showed it with an exclamation mark. didn't know what that meant, so looked it up - turns out it was squaking 7700 which I now know is an emergency. The flight was bound for Rome, but was still at 36,000 feet as it passed over. Flight continued up through Northern Italy until I went back to bed - now know what the emergency was. Hope everyone is ok - it's been ages since a hijack over Europe, no?

Does anyone ever notice with CityJet on FR24 that their track is never "aligned" properly?

Probably a misalignment between FR24 and google maps. At SNN for example it creates the impression that everything lands to the right of the airport and overrun into the shannon estuary :eek:

Any more info? Did you see it land or anything? Maybe a silly hunch but could be an airport ground vehicle of some sort - seen that at LGW before.

Two Falcon 20's in a firefight?

Seems their FL, headlings and tracks are similar but slighlty different. Squawks are 5112 & 5113.

FL are 1000ft apart, and too high for a photo shoot.

Yes that is used by the RAF for target towing, electronic target towing and counter measures.
