There should be an Irish Air Corps PC-12 in late tonight for a night stop

I believe that the PC-12 leaves at 14:50 local.

Can anyone report the PC12 registration, I understand it might be different from the callsign

Apparently the Irish PC-12 reg was 281.

There should be USN C-40a in at 18:50 local today. USN versions of the 737 are not that common visitors as we mostly tend to see the USAF ones. The C-40a is more austere than the B&C versions and has a large cargo door.

Also late next week (possibly 24th) there is a rumour of a French Air Force Socata TBM700 Liaison aircraft visiting. We will see if it actually arrives.

Update, USN C-40a has apparently been pushed back until 20:10 local this evening.

I popped in and saw it land. Looked very anonymous. It was reg ending 5830.

Does 165830 have an ETD? Or where it parked and is visible from this evening? My last one! Thanks John

It appears to be on the old terminal ramp outside Harrods and visiable from the ash path (remember the north side is off limits) it’s also due out late morning.

Many thanks

Previously mentioned TBM700 showing as due on Flightradar and Radarbox as a French Army example. Callsign FMY8046 tomorrow (24th) morning.

I wouldn't suggest anyone travels to see it arrive until its shown as en-route in the online Apps. Apparently there are still some questions as to if its actually coming tomorrow morning.

Hearing that an Irish Air corps PC12 is popping in for a nightstop Monday.

I believe it didn’t show up in the end.

It's so frustrating when you get a normally reliable tip-off and it comes to nothing

There is another Irish air corps PC-12 due in late Monday. Leaves early Monday, sorry I don't have exact timings.

Apparently the PC-12 leaves approx. 13:30 Tuesday local time

Irish 282 departed at 13.27L can confirm serial as 282.
Like to to say Thank You to Pesmog for all the information supplied on this list it appreciated.
