13:48 - ZK434/Tarnish 29 (FGR4/BS150) Dep then delivery to RAF Coningsby

Images posted on Facebook show it did a low pass/flyby uc up along rwy east to west just after a reheat departure presumably for the benefit of the qatari delegation. RAF aircraft on delivery again fitted with uw tanks most have been delivered in "clean" config.

22/10

11:29 ish - ZK436/WTN69 (FGR4/BS152) Reheat Depearture into the Vertical - PFAT3

heard in Lytham on climbout off rwy25@ 1133L.
as first flt was a very short flt and the PFAT1 schedule barely touched, this is most likely billed as a "PFAT2" but 3rd flight!
Landed back 1246L after gear up overshoot (1240L) followed by t&g (1243L).

C37 166376 currently on final approach to Warton timed 16:30

Bob

strictly one for The Gate but as it has been already posted (initially thought inbound to Warton)....
C-37B (Gulfstream V) seen turning for short finals Rwy 28 Blackpool, just to east of Lytham @ 1634L; came in over estuary from the south; peudo-civil livery with last 3 of BuNo on fin "376". No USN unit codes or sqn mks etc.
arr 1635L and seen departing Blackpool Airport (use term loosely here) @ 1704L. Callsign "VV300" (assigned to VR-1 NAF Washington DC).
It may have also been in at The Gate earlier in the day; noted C-37s in at Blackpool before (& Warton)
may have been this very frame.
Cheers
