Typical, a car less day and something different turns up. Anyone know when the Piaggio is leaving if it hasn't already gone?

No idea when it’s leaving, but can confirm it was still present at 7pm, with no activity near it. I would think there’s a good chance it will night stop.

Being reported on Scramble that it is due out late this afternoon. Just about to get the bike out and pop over to see it!

Still on the pan as of 1130 today

Airborne a few moments ago as "IAM1495".
