Eeeeee - it were a tad moist last night. Considering the forecast said there would be no rain, I think we had our fair share!
Thanks for joining me on a rather sodden Wednesday.
See you on Saturday (as long as my upgrade goes well on Saturday morning - watch this space)
Cheers

We love it when it rains on Southside… Paul actually re-enacted this yesterday just before the stream. I did laugh… 😆

Hi everyone!
We know it's been a bit quiet recently on the livestream front, mainly due to work and then the holiday season. Just wanted to let you know that we will be back out again tomorrow afternoon from around 14:30 UK time 😎
The stream link will be uploaded later today.
We can't wait to see you in the chat. Thanks for sticking around ❤️

Hey everyone!
We’re on our way back home to the UK. Currently sat watching some interesting planes and liveries at OR Tambo airport in Johannesburg. What do you think of this one?

✨ Happy New Year – 2026 ✨
As we head into a brand new year, just wanted to say a huge thank you to every single one of you who’s watched, liked, commented, shared, or simply dropped by the channel.
Your support genuinely means the world – whether you’re here for the aircraft, the drones, the livestreams, the night sounds, or just to relax and enjoy the view. This community is what makes it all worthwhile.
Here’s to more flights, more spotting, more calm moments, more fun streams, and plenty of exciting content ahead in 2026.
If you’d like to, let us know in the comments what you’ve enjoyed most this year or what you’d love to see more of next – we always read them and it really helps shape the channel.
Enjoy the night, and enjoy the flight ✈️
Thank you for being part of the journey 💙
John, Paul and the rest of the DnP crew
