    Without turning this into an aviation thread, looks like that that TUI 787 is coming in for a third attempt at Manchester.

    Also spotted two Ryanair jets intended for Birmingham and East Midlands which seem to be diverting to Manchester. Must be a fun day to be working in ATC...

    Yes been looking at those you mention and it seems the Ryanairs are trying on landing at Liverpool

     

    Also a Flybe seems to have given up on Birmingham and returning to Edinburgh

    Am I missing something here?

    Are you really suggesting that a current commercial aircraft will get to 800mph? And that the transatlantic record will be broken?

    i) I don't know of any current commercial airliner that breaks the sound barrier

    ii) The record from New York to Paris is held by a Lockheed SR-71 which took 1 hour and 45 minutes 

    Some are hitting 770mph ground speed (airspeed around 670mph) at the moment this morning

    Just a snippet from the record commercial flight

    Norwegian flight DY7014 from New York JFK to London Gatwick on Monday 15 January 2018 completed the full duration of the flight in 5 hours and 13 minutes – the fastest transatlantic flight recorded on a subsonic commercial aircraft. The previous record was 5 hours and 16 minutes.

    The flight carrying 284 passengers departed New York at 11:44am and arrived at London at 9:57pm – 53 minutes early.

    The day before the record-breaking flight, London Gatwick-based Captain Pascal Niewold recorded his fastest ever transatlantic flight of 5 hours and 20 minutes while flying the Boeing 787 Dreamliner from New York to London on Sunday 14 January. The flight had a maximum tailwind of 195 knots (224mph) and reached a top speed of 779mph.

    So one would assume this powerful jet stream and storm Ciara will be bring some well ahead of schedule flights over the next few days

    Wow. The speed of the planes coming this way from the States where I think this storm is coming from

    Going on 800 mph some of them. whereas some of those going towards the States are struggling to hit 400mph

    One hell of a tail wind up there

    Could be a new record set for a transatlantic flight from New York to Heathrow in the next few days

    Nothing on lightningmaps or Blitzortung but there is a cell down that way.

    Yeah noticed that.

    Seems to also have been showing a few false strikes as well not far from here when in fact there was nothing.

    All that electricity up there is making lightningmaps and Blitzortung play up lol

     

    Another cell popped up south of Derby
