Ronaldsway Sun 1st Sept

[marquis]

A very pleasant surprise visitor to Area W today was DH104 Dove 8 (actually built as a Devon) G-OPLC enroute from Fairoaks to Stornaway, and stopping off for lunch - the sound as it departed bringing back memories of frequent Dove and Devon sightings way back when. As far as I can find, the last Dove visitor was G-ARHW on the 5th April 1996.

Later visitors were Learjet 40 CS-TFO making its first visit of 2019, though it was very common last year; and Cessna 182S EI-GSM.
