VC-10 looking aircraft over Arnold, Nottingham

Post by A380Heavy »

Just had a plane fly over in roughly a North to South direction (at approx 16.30), it had a T-tail, was fairly large - looked bigger than your average biz jet. I immediately looked on FR24 and it wasn't on there?

Can anybody shed any light on this please?

Thanks,

Steve

Doesn't the title of the post give it away Chris? :whistle:

Boeing 727 perhaps?

Dammit, that'll serve me right for not reading the full title! There's a "Location" field in your profile for a reason folks :P

G-RJXK arrived East Midlands a few minutes ago? Nothing else jumping out at me at some of the lower levels.

My first thought was a 727 as well but nothing really to go on.

Bombardier Global aircraft frequently fly over Duxford and at height can easily pass for a VC-10 in outline, but with two engines :biggrin: .

Definitely not a 727 or an Embraer, possibly a Global Express/Sentinel - I was directly beneath it as it flew over so couldn't see any lumps and bumps to identify it as a Sentinel. The fact it wasn't on FR24 might suggest it was a military aircraft.
