G-ETPC QinetiQ Grob 120TP-A ... Painted & Gone.

Post by keithnewsome »

The pair of Grob G120TP's, which arrived at Norwich some days ago, have both been painted and were removed from spray today ... I missed the very early first movement ... but caught the second edition this afternoon in reasonable light ... this one arrived as D-ETQI c/n 11125 ...

After a few days waiting, today, they both left Norwich for Boscombe Down, towed out at 09:30ish and sitting around all day until 16:30ish to depart ... A few photos from the day ...

First to arrive was QQ100 crew ferry.
