Jeffrey Kennedy used to run EWI's Traders' Classroom and the 'softs' side of Commodities (as in grains, meats, etc). Robert Kelley (Snr U.S. Equity Analyst) now looks to be contributing to the Traders' Classroom while Jim Martens (Chief Commodity Analyst) appears to have taken over, or expanded...

Does anyone know why Jeffrey Kennedy has left Elliott Wave International after so many years? Although I didn't trade most of the markets that he covered I used to read his Monthly Commodities Junctures and watch his monthly trading videos as a form of revision, to 'keep my eye in' on EW...

This Spitfire LF XVIe RW382( G-PBIX) flying over north Kent and probably heading for Biggin Hill a few minutes ago, was new to me - (by which I mean that it isn't one of the ones that I see flying along the south coast regularly.) According to Wikipedia it was built in 1945 and delivered to...

The Goodyear Airship - currently heading westwards: https://twitter.com/SussexTW

A very interesting article, thank you - particularly the explanation of IRS/INS drift.

Despite recent appearances (!) I'm not a regular planespotter and only usually look at FR24 to see what plane has just flown by, particularly if it has an unusual engine sound. (That usually means Spitfires, Pilatus variants, Piaggio Avanti's (quiet for passengers but flying lawnmowers from the...

G-ILDA seems to have been all over the place recently, in East Sussex and Kent a couple of days ago, flying out of Lydd for Dover. Now back at Goodwood and, not long ago, off the Isle of Wight, so presumably on a Needles run. G-AWGB was near Dover earlier but now seems to be tootling around...

Further to my earlier posts about Spitfires flying from Goodwood (RAF Westhampnett) to Beachy Head, there was in fact a wartime RAF airfield, RAF Friston, on the top of the Seven Sisters cliffs where up to 1500 personnel were based, mostly living in tents - a bit chilly on the top of the cliff...

Spitfire G-CICK came back again about 45 mins ago before flying back to Goodwood after a detour down to Selsea. Looks like those trips cost around £5000 per flight. Not certain it'll be the same company but here's an example: https://www.boultbeeflightacademy.co.uk/spitfire-flights-goodwood...

Spits coming thick and fast again this afternoon. G-AWGB Vickers Spitfire IX (as yesterday) doing a Beachy Head flypast a few minutes ago, now on its way back to Biggin, followed just now by G-CICK Spitfire Mk T IX flying directly over me, now on its way back to Goodwood Aerodrome...

Spitfire G-FLIX (as in Aug 12th entry above) currently flying past Beachy Head (chalk cliff) near Eastbourne: Followed just a few minutes later by Spitfire G-AWGB flying out of Biggin Hill

Vickers Spitfire IX, G-AWGB (the same as two posts ago) just flew over me here on the Sussex coast as it turned Eastwards for a flypast of the Seven Sisters (chalk cliffs) and Beachy Head, Eastbourne, sadly coinciding with a band of rain passing through. FR24 tends to lose the signal of...
