Bizjet into YPAD?

A friend and I saw a bizjet circling to approach Adelaide Airport a few minutes ago.
We were trying to identify the aircraft, can anyone help?

It had extremely long tip tanks and looked pretty small.

Thoughts are either a Westwind or a Lear 35 or similar...

can anyone help?

There's a LR 35 & orLR36 that lives at AD used for Aero-Med work.One (or possibly more these days) of the Co's machines has the extended wing tip tanks that look very looong compared to the smallish airframe.

Oh how I miss the 6000 ft ROC.....

...sheeeez Jabba you into voyeurism hey? Like to watch hey?

The body angle to achieve those sorts of ROC's would be somewhat acute for a 'frogmobile':-) Trolley dollies would all be piled up upon each other way down the back..............hmmmmm, what a vision
