Farnborough??

Post by pbeardmore »

My office is on the Farnborough side of Guildord. I can hear a single turboprop doing something interesting out there, any ideas?

I was at Thursley Common then and an Avanti went over towards Farnborough: they have a very distinctive sound, any chance that was what you heard?

Later on a Spitfire flew North at the same site, but I couldn't see which one.

A Chipmunk was in the area, yesterday, I think.

'single turboprop' should rule out the above.

I agree but wondered if it was a heard only encounter. If not then PC12 is almost a certainty, they are in and out of Farnborough frequently.
