Could be anywhere !!


This page is only to help tie up a sighting or a callsign.

They could be anywhere with 200nm of the North East - even as far away as Amsterdam or London. To reduce the false returns, they must have been picked up for at least five minutes. Also excluded is GLA/EDI traffic from London, the midlands, France Spain and similar.

However, IF you've seen an airliner or business airplane over the North East, it should be listed here - somewhere within that time frame!! An airplane passing over the area should have been picked up for a minimum of 20 minutes but would obviously depend on prevailing wind direction and speed.

Please bear in mind though, much of the traffic will be both north/south traffic over Cumbria and well out over the North Sea as well as east/west traffic over Humberside, Yorkshire & Cheshire.

(This page is for quick reference rather than an alert, so will NOT Auto-fresh. This list is limited to around the last 2 hours, any older and they can now be found here (or eventually in the archive).
