Hi folks..Happy New Year to all who take the Queen's shilling.
Anyone help here please? Just spotted (1300z 2nd Jan) four-engine low-wing turboprop beating up south Herefordshire @ c500'agl.... about Britannia/Albert size and bristling with external antennae..particularly 2 large v-shaped ones - one each side of the tailcone.
Many thanks. bm:p

Thanks guys... it could have been an Electra.... but it was definitely bristling with aerials etc..not spray booms...also carried roundels... the house shook for a few moments before it flew over.... made my day! bm
