Whilst we are on the subject on webtrak and Melbourne Airport, check out today from 1740 or so for about 20 mins - a C441 hanging around flying pretty low. Ends up over the top of the airport at about 1757.

Anyone have any ideas what it was doing, and who for? Was it something to do with airservices? (Just curious as I saw it in the flesh, and couldn't work it out!)
ZigZag you were not the only one to see that today.

I was at a house auction in Clayon (sort-of near Moorabbin for those elsewhere), rego was VH-VED. First realised it was there when the auctioneer stopped the auction and looked up to see what the hell was making such a loud noise, fearing for his life as it got louder (seriously) thinking it was dropping in to join us. It appeared from the south-east at around 250-300ft if that, in a 45 degree bank with rego clearly visible. Didn't know what it was at the time as it flashed past so quickly at that low level.
