Lossiemouth Swiss visit 4 Dec 18

Post by wallace »

Catching up on my backlog, I'm now up to 4th December. The Beech 1900 and Citation landed on the cross runway and were no use for pictures.
I'll be uploading more photos from this visit over the coming weeks onto my Flickr site

ZK426, the pilot seemed to be having a spot of bother with this one. Note the vapour trail in front of the air intake
