Blimey Alan, that was a nice catch!

I believe it is coming over here later in  the year, will be nice with PA474 alongside.

Another oldie, routing Keflavik-Prestwick this time is DC3 N345AB http://www.airliners.net/photo/Douglas-C-47A-Skytrain/2299650/L/&sid=7dc5d6f4466a00720f2bb5750b3cf154  After a couple of days at Prestwick it is heading to Ramstein before taking part in the Normandy celebrations in June.  http://www.rtn2014.org/

I believe it is also to attend the Flying Legends show at Duxford.

She is plotting nicely on the map.

This aircraft was shown on the BBC Scotland TV News touching down at Prestwick.

[Runway 31]

Some nice photos on the net.  She did a flypast before landing, landed then taxied full length of the runway and then taxied past the waiting masses on the mound before going to her stand.  As she taxied 2 Tornados carried out fly pasts, very nice touch.

Dakota N345AB has just departed Prestwick and following a flypast on departure it will head to Duxford.

Thought that these had all gone, or is it a Tornado miss code?

Is there really a Goodyear airship, N1A, near Exeter please?

[Runway 31]

The hex A00002 decodes to N1A which was newly allocated to the Zeppelin yesterday.  Has been noted in the south of England for a few weeks.  Whether this is the real hex or a miscode I have been unable to determine yet.
