Aircraft Spotted - Clacton on Sea
Dad called on the Monday 21st June to see if I could find out what kind of aircraft he had seen flying low over Clacton on Sea that day.
The aircraft was a twin (quote ''about the size of a Spitfire and sounded a bit like a couple of Merlins on it too'') and made 3 passes overhead between about 1400 & 1600hrs.
Any ideas???

Unless it's made a rapid recovery - please let it be so - the Blenheim is still being de-bent at Duxford after its prang in 2003.
If it was blue, maybe the TFC Tigercat?

Sadly the last flying Mosquito crashed some years ago. Some one did mention the details at the Kemble air show at the weekend, but I think the sun had got to my head by then and can't remember the details.

Think it may have been a C.402/4. series, as I saw/ heard it in the distance, possibly survey/calib.photo/ oil pollution etc... Syc
