Fly past over Swindon today ?
A Pembroke followed by what looked like a DC6 just flew low over West Swindon from the direction of Fairford this evening.

Any clues ??

Air Atlantique from Kemble, perhaps?

Pembroke, DC-6 and DC-3 flew over me in line astern, Bourton-on-the-Water lunchtime. I'm sure they're from Air Atlantique Classic Flight. Don't know what they were doing, apart from making a great sound..... Possibly Kemble, though I don't know of anything specific on there.

Could well have been - they zipped over Newbury too.

There's a Great Vintage Flying Week End (G-VFWE) at Keevil - anoraks and rubber necks unite!

Both were inbound to Dunsfold, the Pembroke being used to ferry DC6 crew back.
