727 Low over Rochester
Went out for a lovely stroll earlier ,as its a lovely clear and crisp day,when i was suddenly aware of an airliner above me,extremely low (500-750ft?) Heading towards the coast. It was a 727 ,which was red and white ,and on looking on the Manston Website it looks like a recent visitor there. G-OSRA (Oil Spill Response) I could be wrong? Very quiet in the overhead to.A lovely sight.

I know you think you understood what I said, but I'm not sure you realise that what I said is not what I meant.

Did 9Q-CDC go straight to lasham? I saw her climbing towards Clacton/North Sea. Quite a few engineers out on the hangar apron watching her go
