Probably one of the two Oil Spill Response 727s that are based in the UK.

Thanks for the info.Thought it might have been an Oil Spill Response.

Might be mistaken , but pretty sure it was using the callsign BROADSWORD when I heard it on the scanner this afternoon

[cw318is]

Broadsword is 2Excel's ICAO callsign. Oddly enough it used to be used by Air Foyle when they had the OSR Hercules.

Did hear the aircraft ID itself as a Boeing 722 when it was working Cardiff , which is why it rang a bell.
Isn't T2 Aviation ( or whoever it is operates G-OSRA these days ) part of 2Excel's setup ?
