Briefly glimpsed on PlanePlotter at 10:37 near VLN. This ac is MoD owned and operated on their behalf by Hawker Hunter Aviation.

Dunno , he was caught quite a few times by the auto mlats in the SW sector
Tom . The track shows a large orbit from Yeovil out to Exeter and back .

John, as I've mentioned to you many times before, we have a particular problem with aircraft on TR1 going AWOL for a time in the SW. Is there possibly a problem with a server not relaying the data to us, e.g I'm seeing the message "no data downloaded from server 2" a lot?

No probs with the system Tom , coverage is as good as there are ground stations.

If enough GS cant see the a/c  then the plot may drop out , as you know , but there are no "problems"  other than the geography of that particular region.

Your  error message has nothing to do with PP  , other than you have elected to tick the secondary server box in I/O settings for some reason.

Viking 9 your info is incorrect- XF995 is owned by HHA who operate the aircraft on the uk military register under full MAA regulation. See www.hunterteam.com

Thank you for the correction. I was aware of your company and its other Hunters but I did read somewhere that the MOD owned 995.
