A Reliant Robin Lynx  ;D

Hooray!  :lol:

That's the first occasion I've seen of someone calling one by its proper name for ages! For some bizarre reason people will insist on saying 'Robin Reliant'! That's stupid, it's the same as saying 'Beetle Volkswagen' or 'Bus London'.

Well done Aircav!

Saw a Citation Cessna ;-) fly over yesterday. Nothing spectacular, but there was low cloud, so he was really low. Just something about a/c under low, stormy cloud......

Actually got someting interesting to post. Whilst out walking the dog this morning, I had an Aerospatiale Trinidad or Tobago Turbine job go over head and the I saw what I would swear was a BF108, only saw it from the starboard quarter and it looked suspiciously like one. Wish I had 'acquired' it sooner.

what do you figure - 747? Don't see 4-engined contrails here too often, and this isn't one of the based -135s...

That certainly looks like a 747-400.

If you have a photo that shows more of the contrail, the -400s leave a very distinctive trail that starts off with four individual trails which combine quite quickly into two distinctive trails that are well separated. A340s leave 4 trails for a much longer distance which eventually end up as just one very thick one.

Something very unusual just flew over the house, a single engined plane (Cessna 150 size) with floats fitted, now you don't see that everyday.  ;D

I could tell by just looking at the wing sweep. The A340 almost has glider wings (not very swept) compared to the 747 :thumbsup:

Nice shot. We have one that departs each weekday evening about 8:30pm that hauls cargo. Last night while on our evening walk I caught it as it past directly overhead.
