I've been following her. I left the site for a short while, and when I returned there is no sign of her. Can anybody else see her?

Can't see her.Could it be that she is too far away from or too low for an ADS receiver to detect her? *-) EricT

Went off Flightradar (below coverage area?) at about 0940 our time, roughly 270nm from Kef heading more towards Faroes. Should reappear in an hour or so. Wonder whether they are planning a track more down the east coast rather than direct over Stornoway etc and airways?

When I last saw her she was heading towards Faroes. Appeared to be bouncing about a bit. Turbulent ride maybe?

Looks like more easterly track likely due CB/ice etc. over NW Scotland and possibly most of the west/central UK.

Back up and Stornoway it is. Probably couldn't stop the old lady from heading towards Prestwick which she knows well. :)

Over mainland UK now. Or maybe Scotland wont be in the UK any time soon? Seems to be heading for Lossie/Kinloss. Maybe a low flypast?

No. Turned south, and is now overhead Inverness.
