Twin fin,Twin radial over Corby ID?

Post by **iainpeden** » Sat 23 Sep 2017, 9:12 am

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?

That would fit the bill- are there many in the UK?

One arrived at Duxford not too long after so possibly what you saw

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 :clap:

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