Elstree 27/2/20

Post by ap57uk » Thu Feb 27, 2020 4:51 pm

Morning All

Noted this morning at Elstree were two former Israeli Defence Force Beech A.36 Chofits 353/N336EU and 399/N536EU. They are in their IDF schemes and carry their Israeli serials.

Rumour has it there may be five more to follow.

Regards

Alan

Shouldn't believe all rumours!

There were THREE yesterday:

353/N336EU, 360/N436EU and 399/N536EU

BUT ... 399/N536EU departed today for another UK airfield.

and still due is 301/N136EU and 318/N236EU

Total FIVE

Unless they've moved in the last couple of weeks, yes quite easily.

N436EU '360' is more difficult as it parked just off Bravo Taxiway, possibly best seen from the public road at the end of 26 near the Battle Axes pub, N536EU went to Little Gransden last week and N336EU is still parked by the Flying Pig offices

Message posted on MSF a short while ago:

"Airside closed today [21/03/2020] to Spotters/Photographers"

I don't know if this so long-term. As Undertaker said, best place is near the Battles Axes pub. Just to add, although N436EU is visible from there, unsure if the other one is, although expect that it is.

It's until the Government Advice on 'unnecessary travel' is changed, so a long time !!
