Cambridge Spotters

[Guest 112233]

In the Dark Gloom last Week I thought i Saw..

? An IL18 leaving Cambridge in the dusk turning left over the southern tip of the city towards BPK I think at about 19.00 in the evening.

Was I mistaken.

Haven't heard of an IL-18 being around for quite a while in the UK, I hope I'm wrong though, lovely sounding things.

Thanks

Yep it was a four prop, quite smokey, not a C130 - one of the regular visitors - I have never seen a P3 anywhere near here. Hummmm.
