P3 Inverness

Post by stavid » Fri May 03, 2019 8:28 pm

Hi all. Spotted today whilst driving over the Kessock bridge in Inverness what appeared to be a P3 Orion on finals into Inverness airport. Was wondering is that a normal activity, practice diversion etc.? At the same time there was a particularly hefty sleet/hail squall moving through. Not sure if that had any bearing on things. Best Regards. Stephen.

Possibly Canadian CP-140 Aurora, currently based at Prestwick.
Cheers.

Yes, it was 140103 on a training sortie doing approaches at Leuchars, Lossie, Inverness, Wick and Stornoway. Of course it overflew Lossie at 5,000 feet.
