A Tale of Two Dauphins
Evidently this Dauphin II arrived at Fairoaks yesterday as N886TW, was washed and subsequently departed as G-PDGK.
No doubt one of those quick-remove paint jobs so oft utilised for film industry assignments!

PNG Visit
PC wearing a PNGDF uniform? With AAC wings?
Interesting to say the least as was his arrival via RAAF 'Ausjet' as opposed to a special charter. Austerity in action one presumes!

As part of their austerity measures for 2013, Naryan-Mar Airport in Russia have trained a handful of dogs to perform day-time 'follow me' duties for aircraft requesting this service.
Airport director Vladimir Volnikov said "Our canine comrades have shown themselves wery capable in showing the aircraft where to park and, as a result, this year we expect to save over 30,000 Rubles by using these animals."

Oh yes .. in order to 'validate' this post .. please note the Mi26 above the 73's starboard wing root!
