Re: exercise chameleon
about 13:30 this afternoon while walking over the Barry/Buddon ranges we were overflown by what looked like a Sentinel which was headed roughly in the Leuchars direction at low altitude We were looking right into the sun so couldn't get a good look.There was the possibility it was a civil for Dundee Airport but nothing shown on FR24.Would be grateful for any help on ID.
Thanks
Keith

Re: exercise chameleon
Hi Keith
It was a commercial jet from Dundee. It has been in and out twice today.
Can't recall serial offhand but is US registered IIRC
Might have been Gulfstream N102NY

Re: exercise chameleon
Thanks Chris sun was playing havoc and by the time we got a good look it was too far away.Didnt look as if it was heading for Dundee but they do sometimes do quite tight turns near the bridges.
Thanks again
Keith
