CTM1782 Xingu at Doncaster

Post by Skymaster » Mon Jan 28, 2019 4:20 pm

Did anyone eyeball the Xingu today?

CTM1782 69 [3B9BB1]

Has 69 transferred from the Navy or is it using a swapped box or something?

Departed to Chateaudun.

It is not that unusual for a Navy one to operate a "CTMxxxx" flight. They detach aircraft to Avord for training which therefore can be called upon for an Air Force flight.

These have been visiting DSA for the past 2 years now under the ctm callsign and have been a mixture of adla & marine, sometimes a flight of 2 with one of each in the flight.Mick
