Its the one based in Stornoway for the last couple of weeks.

It's temporary serial is CSX-62296, which is an Italian military test serial as they're fitted-out for military operators in Turin, construction number should be 1070 and is one of the six ATR72-600MPAs on order for the Turkish Navy. It did 2 or 3 missed approaches at Glasgow today and then returned to Stornoway before doing yet more testing over the Benbecula ranges later this afternoon.

No problem, I thought that it's deployment had already been posted on here somewhere, but obviously not! It's daily flights to the Benbecula ranges are always visible on FR24.

Saw it on the apps last Thursday when I was at EGPK. Assumed, incorrectly, that it was heading Stateside. Thanks again.
