Tristar South Coast fly-by Saturday

Probably dumping some fuel before RTB ;)

It flew around Wales and Devon too around 2500-3000ft and then along the south coast... i assumed it had little kiddies onboard for a big xmas present?

According to someone in Taunton, a VC-10 was at 3000ft following the M5 today into Devon.
Another santa flight? |
