LHR Sat 31/08/02 long jet?
I am looking for some assistance with this one, can anyone shed any light on it?
Around 1935LT over Clapham heading towards 27L LHR, I saw something very unusual - not an aircraft I would recognise. There is not much that usually stumped me but this one did!
It was a long thin fuselage, white,T-Tail, 2x engines, long swept back MD80/B727 style wing but very long fuselage.
BUT, BUT. It had winglets on both wingtips.
I am confused.
Livery I did NOT recognise, too high to read reg number.
It looked like a super B727 like Cougars but fuselage was clearly too long. Either that and or it was a very large Gulfstream 5.
Anyone see anything similar or resemble it?
Were you in the hold/descent/taxi out around this time??
ANY HELP APPRECIATED
regards
