Twin prop commuter low flying Guildford

[HeliRoute]

Hi All,

Did anyone else see the twin prop commuter plane over Guildford today?

At about 11:00 hours today, a twin prop (don't ask me what I only really know rotary types) flew over Guildford between 400 and 200 feet, repeatedly banking steeply and at one point dived toward Compton/A3.
Landing gear was down. The aircraft made several circuits around Guildford and at one point I wondered if they were in trouble because of the erratic flying.

Did anyone witness this?

Didn't see it myself.

The terms "twin prop" and "commuter" are not synonymous.

"Twin prop" covers such a wide range of types that, without any further information, identifying what you saw will be almost impossible.

"Commuter", on the other hand, is a much more specific term and combined with the twin prop attribute the range of possibilities is small enough to provide a reasonable chance of an ID. Did you have a specific reason for describing it as such ?

The King Air is a regular on the airshow circuit, it's going to be at most shows this season. Its' routine is exactly what you describe.

Whatever it was, hopefully it was on a strafing run. Guildford is a dump.
