ZH005 Islander of the Army Air Corps seems to be on a jaunt across England, took off from Aldergrove, just over the top of us in North Kent.

Damnit, flew literally straight over my house (East Herts) v low, assumed it was some civilian plane, and had twigged it was an Islander which I thought was a bit unusual. Nothing showing on FR24, I assumed because it was so low. Should have grabbed my camera!

I thought all the Islanders were transferred to RAF control last year.
