Evening....im sitting at home just north of Portsmouth today when I hear the roar from hell out of know-where. I leg-it out side to see a DC-10 in what looked like Airtours colours overhead id guess at FL40/50, gear down. Couldnt see the flaps but the aircraft sounded to have a highish N1 as if it was on an approach. There is no where near here apart from Southampton, and im sure none of you guys would try to get a DC10 in and stop on 1700mtr runway?
Cant think what else it would have been doing?
Anyone??!!
Kind regards to you all.
Speedy.

Definitely N833AA in Airtours/Premiair colour scheme but with no titles. I took a picture of it yesterday before it is reduced to razor blades. Maybe some time though as there is hell of queue of 1-11's, A300's and B737's to be scrapped as well.
