Interesting to see just how busy it is (or was one hour ago) up there. Traffic log is exactly 1 hour behind.

Hugh* French time is an hour AHEAD of UK time. The log is an hour behind UK time.

It's GMT, or UTC as the non-brits prefer to call it :)

Right, OK, guess I went the wrong way there! Thanks. But I think it's live any road up.

Hey, i'm not looking for an argument but one hour behind is not 'live' in anyones books. What are you saying ? That it was live one hour ago then i would agree but it's a funny comment to make.

James, the time shown is UTC which is 1 hour behind our BST. ie it's now 18.24 BST or 17.24 UTC

In other words, James, it's live. Think we all got there in the end. (Thanks, John).

Oh Sorry Hugh, i got it wrong, it is 'live', thanks John. I'm suprised though with terrorism and all that. Doesn't this make it easy to track aircraft to attack them ? Just a thought. By the way, while we're sky watching, check my post about ISS.

Here's another one. This shows where the plane cam from. So I was able to tell that the plane which just flew over Harringay was the BA flight from Dusseldorf. Excitement over!

This all gives us a fantastic eurocentric worldview, which hasn't changed one iota since about 1462AD. Morocco and Tunisia (well, one or two destinations in each) are of course Brochure Europe. Maybe one or two of the yellow culture vultures clustering over the Balearics & Canaries could divert a little to Timbuktu or Bamako. And where are all those Nato flights to Tripoli?
