I know this isn't military related, But what's wierd between this site and Flightaware is I saw DAL 9857 flying over Newcastle on FR24 but when I looked at flightaware the flight wasn't there and according to flightaware is not scheduled to take off until 1923 CEST.

No idea about flightaware, but (as I said before) I live under one of the main routes for traffic coming from Europe and heading for the Atlantic.

Have always been able to see the aircraft on the radar and outside in the real world - so from that aspect I'd say that FR24 is accurate.

FR24 is always spot on, i live on the southern departure route i see the vapour trails and then check who it is

Stew, have you seen the postal flights buzzing about at night ?

I would assume that eventually it was returning to either Brize Norton or Bournemouth, where the tanker conversions are being done..................but it was getting late and boy do I need my beauty sleep.
