Another fishing trip to BD today, bit warmer than last time but only just!

Voyager landed and parked up
146 landed (all white, G-BVRJ)
Learjet departed (EPTS?)
King Air on circuits
Hawk on circuits
Sea King departed
Gazelles in and out
Merlin static

Also, a very noisy twin-prop a/c departed, no idea what it was tho!

Not a bad day... lots of activity over 3-4 hours.

The Learjet is Calspans aircraft N102VS and is being being used until QinetiQ's variable stability aircraft become serviceable again.

Depending what time you were there, your twin prop would've probably been the Basset XS743 that departed on air test around 1530 and returned around 1615.

Hi Joe, having just looked up the image of the Basset, I think you're absolutely right and the timings do fit.

Thanks!

Yeah, I saw the Basset on the pan this morning. The Tucano ZF511 took off as well.
