Could have been mate, very similar, but no livery or titles.

Just got back from the airport and...it's a F50! :doh: Not my beloved F27 but still quite rare around these parts, can't remember the last time I saw one so not a complete waste of time. Frustratingly couldn't see the reg from where I was. The whole thing was white with a dark blue tail coming down the rear of the fuselage. No other markings or titles that I could see. At first I assumed it was a freighter, but then I realised it was parked on the GA apron, not the freight one. An odd choice for a private plane surely?
Anyway, it was a fun outing, especially driving round in circles trying to find my way in. I went up and down the same road at the end of the runway four times then went into the freight area by mistake, somehow didn't spot all those no entry signs! I'm sure to be on some government list now, probably get followed by the men in black... :hide:

Afternoon all,

Having a bit of a google around as I am sat at home bored, I have discovered that PH-KXX would appear to have made quite a few visits to Newcastle this year and matches your descriptions quite well.

Just a thought
Cheers

That matches what I saw exactly Andy, nice bit of detective work, well done! As I said, the registration was hidden, but I wouldn't be a surprise if it's one and the same. Thanks.

Possible it could be one of two:

PH-KXX or PH-JXK - depends on the additional text on the fuselage! Discounting PH-JXJ because of the additional logo on the tail.

Thanks Ian, there was definitely nothing else on the fuselage, so hard to narrow it down.
