LN-DHZ

[Icare9]

At 12:15 currently watching an aircraft overflying Southend.
Flight Tracker shows it as LN-DHZ which comes up as a DH115 Vampire at 101,900 ft....
That seems impossibly high for a 70 year old design...

Don't trust everything you see on the virtual radar sites.

FR24 often shows Redhill based aeroplanes as having originated at LGW .. be assured we can't afford the landing fees.

As I don't put any info info into the transponder other than the squawk code of 3767 and don't have ADS-B or anything else, I can only assume FR 24 is making a wild guess.

Interesting, just looking for that and instead spotted three Canadian registered A-4 Skyhawks operating over Western Germany, presumably providing target services for Luftwaffe... I recall Flight Systems had some years ago, before that F-100s...

Agree with not believing everything that appears on the internet, but that just seemed so unlikely that I felt it worth raising, if only for other instances.
Be interested to know if it was LN-DHZ and what the correct altitude was. Coming from the South Coast it would also have set a Climb to Altitude record, perhaps with a Saturn rocket booster?

It's now 16.06 BST and the Hondajet is showing overhead Farnborough at 0 kts and heading 306 degrees... at 49,875 feet!!!!
