I have just seen (10 a.m.) a twin fin, twin radial engine a/c - about Anson size - flying west-east over Corby. It was accompanied by another light a/c.
A little far away to ID so if anybody can shed light on it I'd be grateful.

Beech 18 maybe?
Re: Twin fin,Twin radial over Corby ID?
That would fit the bill- are there many in the UK?

That makes sense. Does anybody know where it is based?

Sounds like G-BGKL, which is based at Leicester, I think.

I'm a bit late on this but it was an 18, thing is it may have been the same day as the MIG 15 and 2 Vampir3s over mkt harborough they were line astern just starting to form into a "V" formation going east and about 15 minutes brfore that a lone Spitfire going the same way, oh what joy

Think it was the same day as the migs. I am looking forward to seeing the a/ c just restored at Spanhoe overhead.
