Thanks, and helpful. My interest stems from pre internet days and long night shifts. Up here in Leeds we are sat under the europe / US flight path Upper Blue something? it was a long while ago. We could follow on radio and watch contrails as they went overhead in the early mornings. Especially interested when they are asking for short cuts off their plans and seeing them turn off. On clear mornings we could catch them from above Manchester and over towards Nth Lincolnshire. We had the maps and could see them turn over the radio point.
As well as the ATC calls could recall the airline calls, crew asking for extra water or calling blocked toilets before getting to the destination.
