Italian Army Dornier visits Lakenheath- 20/10/14.
Italian Army Dornier visits Lakenheath- 20/10/14.
We had an unusual visitor at RAF Lakenheath this morning in the shape of an 8 Gruppo Italian Army Do.228 (MM62157)
Not the prettiest of airframes, but still nice to have something different visiting Suffolk.

The rear doors look like something from a garden shed; perhaps we should call it Shed II?

Great catch Justin, I must have been at Mildenhall when this landed
a change from the Eagles, but very nice and rare none the less...

Great capture Justin, I spent many hours in a "Dornier 228" flying from Cambridge to Schiphol and back with "Suckling Airways".
A great aircraft to fly in, built for real flying!!

I bet the trip all the way from Italy to Lakenheath was a bit of a drag though- i can't imagine the comfort levels in there are exactly first class!
Re: Italian Army Dornier visits Lakenheath- 20/10/14.
Seats were comfortable and they are built to take on any weather, but flying at 7000ft through the muck was interesting!! About as stable as a "Tiger Moth"
