Before I start, it's pertinent to note that the BorderForce Dash-8 ISR Aircraft was still flying over the Channel at 21:00 last night. It had obviously landed after the day's work and then taken off again to do an evening shift. Busy Dinghy Day?
Tuesday 10/11/2026 12:20
Wind 13Knts
Wave Height 2Ft
Border Force Aircraft on station NONE
Coastguard aircraft on station NONE
Don't know what is going on today. No aircraft. Looks like this is another drug delivery day, because the wind and wave height don't signal a lower number of attempted crossings.
But where are the Coastguard aircraft? Nothing available today?
Turn a blind eye, don't fly, guys! Or did they max out their hours yesterday?
