Think it is still here - was told it was towed into the Gama hangar - why - could be a ns or broken?

Actual callsign should have been Vulcan 54.

First time I've seen Shadow's using Gama at Aberdeen, they normally go Hawarden or Bournemouth - see how long it stays for.

I have heard it departed not long after it arrived and have seen one image from a guy who works at the airport, who knows because none of us locals saw or heard it depart. I only saw the track on FR24, it did one very wide and long approach and did the same again but landed.
