Vampire over Milton Keynes

Post by RubyRoo » Sun Apr 25, 2021 12:51 pm

Just had the great sight of a Vampire heading ~SW over Milton Keynes. 13:45.

Anyone have any idea of the serial or where it was going?

Many thanks in advance.

Yes. As Mike mentioned above, nothing displays on either platform.

Many thanks, Amp.

WZ507 operated out of Coventry today and was flying around Aylesbury. Per their Twitter.
