Seen over Cambridge today

Post by Paul K »

G-OSRA. What a lovely sight it was. I had no idea there was one operating in the UK.

According to Flightradar24, it had been up over Yorkshire for a while, and I followed it into Stansted.

Thanks for that Garry. I hope we get to see more of them overhead. Looks like a very good repaint subject for the Captain Sim 727-200 freighter too.

A very appropriate choice of aircraft . The 727 always looked like a mobile oil spill, trailing black clouds behind it !

Based at Stansted. They've had to get a dispensation to fly with noisy engines.
