Does anybody know if it is IFR equipped?

I don't think so. Seeing as they seem to be pretty much flying in formation with the PC12 at lowish levels dodging cloud and weather!

Arrived at Iqaluit this afternoon UK time, not sure if that's it for the day.

A tad under 400 miles to the next planned stop at Kuujjuaq Airport across the Hudson Strait, about two hours. Plenty of daylight left but Windy showing rain on the south side of the Strait so maybe they'll wait for better weather tomorrow.

...and on her way south to Wabush now. Wonder if they'll be able to push on to the next airport, Mont Joli, today.

I hardly think that those behind the flight can be held responsible for FR24's inability to draw a Spitfire outline. :O

I hope the film crews are following for the follow-up TV prog.

Change of plan it seems... Stopped at Schefferville, then SW to Chibougamau where they've just landed - presumably a night stop - 300 miles to Gatineau where they were due to stop for 4 nights.

Not a night stop, G-IRTY's airborne again and en-route Gatineau...

Dave,
I agree, but what I was referring to is that in order to get the correct generic SE icon, the onus is on the operator to register all the aircraft's details with FR24. I would have thought that the organizers of this expensive advertising stunt would not have overlooked this small detail.

OK, I hadn't heard of that requirement, and frankly I'm surprised at it.

While I agree that it's unreasonable to expect FR24 to have a separate icon for each of 3,000-odd ICAO designators, I wouldn't have thought that it was beyond their wit to maintain a lookup table that would allow at least assignment of a generic icon that corresponds to how ICAO categorise a given aircraft (of which there are only a couple of dozen common combinations), for example "light single piston-engined fixed-wing".

Anything would be better than showing G-IRTY as

for want of a little bit of common sense.

Hmmm.

Thanks for the link. But that says:

which is clearly not the case - Boultbee don't need to tell FR24 that G-IRTY is a Spitfire, or that its ICAO designator is SPIT. FR24 already knows that:

Heck, they even show a photo of it looking not very much like a twin-jet airliner !

Well, made it to Gatineau! Apparently it should have been there Tuesday for an appearance with the Sparrows... ah well time and inclement weather wait for no man...

A week on and G-IRTY has stopped at El Paso to refuel, en-route the next night stop at Nellis. Weather has forced a complete change of US stops to those originally envisaged and the team have spent a couple of nights with Comanche Warbirds in SW Texas.

Made it to Santa Monica yesterday afternoon, leaving for Mojave on Saturday.

Now spending four days at Everett for a 50 hour check. Arrived via Mojave, Santa Rosa and Madras (the other one).

Off again already, crossing back into Canada, Kelowna, Williams Lake and a night stop at Fort St John.

While in SMO, one of the pilots became reacquainted with WP833, one of the RAF's "Round the World" Chippies.
