About 6 months ago I saw a US regd PZL M28 flying over northern Germany. It seemed to have arrived from across the pond and landed near Berlin. Might that be the same aircraft ?

I suppose the 'Qantas never having been to Gatwick' was in reference to operating flights to/from LGW, rather than visiting hobby Jets or diversions. Bearing in mind the rarity of 747's at LGW back...

Just reremembered, an A109 choppered past me this morning, sort of red and blue/black. All very normal in Londinium, except this was from Ukraine, as in UR-regd. Long way from home.

Thanks Mr T. The only 70's aircraft I've seen lately were the E-4B's which have been given the 'Trigger's Broom' protocol over the years. I wonder how much is still original on the BE20's ?

Today a USAF BE20 went up the spine of the UK heading back to the USA. Nothing unusual, except it had a serial of fiscal year '73'. Surely that can't be correct ? TITUS25 was the callsign.

We'd probably keel over in surprise if an LC-130H were to fly by over the pond, whereas the AN12's although regular, come in irregular waves. Lovely sound.
