G-UKAL Rarely Photographed Aircraft + Update !

Post by keithnewsome »

As the thread title suggests it seems this airframe is very very shy, it was registered in the UK 13.11.13, and has been very camera shy ? A.Net = zero ! there seem to be only two photos out there ?? Based at Farnborough it visited Norwich for just under two hours this evening ! I was lucky enough to arrive at the right time :shock:

Looking at the lack of windows, and the owners details, I'd say that was one of the Met Police's 'sneaky beaky' surveillance aircraft, based out of Farnborough. G-BVJT and G-TDSA are also theirs...

Guess I'll have a black Vauxhall Omega turning up outside my gaff next :heyhey:

I've had G-TDSA orbiting my house before at medium level, certainly was an intriguing experience :lol:

Nice shots though!
