Classic British Flight Sim

We had a rare visitor over the Wirral this morning about 1030UTC : I was attracted outside by the noise of what turned out to be Twin Wasps, and it was a Beech 18 Expeditor G-BKGM. The first one I have seen in donkeys' years

I had to read that twice. On the first pass, I thought you meant you'd seen 2 Westland Wasps! I nearly jumped in the car BKGM is a rarity for sure. How's she painted at the moment?

Well, I hadn't got my binoculars handy, but she appeared to be darkish blue without any white bands . There are various different schemes shown on G-INFO

Cheers Chris If it's the one I'm thinking of.. it's RN which I like.. of course

Well, that ties it up nicely.
Chris Storey's spotting was obviously flawless, and Chris Trott proves it.
Well done both.

What an adventure hey. Wish I was going with them

You might get to see it Mike. Be sure to take some shots if you do If they need spares.. I can think of no one better placed to help them out
