Dunno. Perhaps they were waiting for the tides to turn to come back for him.

Open house if correct.

Apologies Mel, but I have to go out for the rest of the day and am unable to monitor.

The only aircraft that comes to mind is perhaps the original Grumman Gulfstream mock-up? However the shape of the windows do not match the first Gulfstreams built.
