What was that?

Post by Roxethrook » Tue Mar 08, 2016 4:53 pm

Two small planes have circled around and, presumably, landed at Northolt (16:30 ish 08/03/2016). Anyone know what they were please?

A couple of Tucanos made an approach, I'm not sure if they landed.

Both Tucanos landed in formation at 1645 and then departed in formation about forty minutes later back to Linton.
