In the garden in the evening seeing the occasional plane flying low coming in to land at East Midlands. It makes me wonder...

Maybe carrying freight ?

We rarely see planes going over now compared to how many flights there used to be.

Yes. It can be busy. Especially at peak hol times. As I say: it's just the odd one now.

Stuff most folks would wonder seeing a passenger plane coming in to land ATM. Where's it flown from? Who's on it? How long have they been away?

As someone's already said, maybe it's not even carrying people.

Okay. Apart from one I saw later yesterday night they look like passenger planes. Doesn't necessarily mean that they're carrying people though I suppose.

Interesting. They're quite low coming in.

My son flew home from Vietnam last Wednesday but to Heathrow not East Midlands. There are four flights scheduled to return from India and four from Pakistan and one from Peru that I know of. Possibly others too.

I'm not sure how long haul East Midlands accommodates? There are large Asian communities in cities nearby: Derby, Leicester, Nottingham, etc.

Go onto flightradar24, you will see what they are.

I used to work at the airport.

Any passenger planes will no doubt be carrying stranded brits home

If it's passengers they are probably East Europeans come for seasonal fruit picking.

A lot of passenger planes have been reconfigured for cargo..

Watched a YouTube video yesterday from America where a guy did a low pass fly over over a non passenger airport (ex military) where they were using a runway to store planes, had about 200 there and getting more all the time. These were all the American airline, Delta etc whilst the demand for flights is non existent.

It's both amazing and heartbreaking at the same time.

Talking about flights on R4 this morning: Heathrow. Think it might be the only one taking passengers now. Or maybe they were just talking long haul?

Anyway: there was guy just flown back from Pakistan talking. Saying there were no restrictions; distancing, etc. at the airport and it was just like arriving back in 'normal' times. Hmmmm

The Government are now considering quarantining people arriving into UK "from as early as May". Seems a bit late when thousands have already come home, especially from Italy and China.

East Midlands Airport. Hence the planes I see coming in to land from my back garden was on BBC national News at 10 last night.

It's being used by DHL Cargo.

I'm at the periphery of hearing aircraft noise, and it's gone way down.
