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.

Should have gone to Specsavers!
The rear doors look like something from a garden shed; perhaps we should call it Shed II?

A great aircraft to fly in, built for real flying!!

Nice to see these are still in service!
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!
