Not quite the same as a PA-28 circling near Gatwick, but on the way home from work tonight (around 1553Z) I saw what appeared to be a tiny aircraft on final for 26L at Gatwick. It was slightly bigger than a Piper or Cessna, but not much, and appeared to be a low-wing tail-dragger. And before anyone suggests that I was confused by nearby Redhill, I wasn't - I had passed that a few minutes earlier on the M23 and I had watched "my" SuperCub on final there.
Has anyone got any idea what such a small aircraft was doing going into Gatwick today? And how much they were charged before they were allowed to leave again!
Cheers,
MD.
