Anyone know what its in for? Im sure this must be the largest aircraft to have landed at Hawarden in a while if not ever?
** Maybe be a little earlier, it is approaching the North Sea Coast just to the north of Skegness, so id imagine a ETA of 1600 **

The 332 is an interesting frame.C/n871 was manufactured more than 6 years ago and has been in store since.It was a pattern/demo used by Airbus Mil in the hope of winning the USAF KCX order.To most observer`s surprise they did win and 871 went to Getafe for TT conversion.
Then Gen Morning`stormin mornin`KelloggIII had his d`oh moment at the Pentagon.
"Son,you tellin` me these here goddam airplanes were not invented here?"
Yes sir,General sir!
Airbus were defriended and to nobody`s surprise Boeing got the order.And so,the USAF will be receiving the vastly inferior 767.

A330 duly noted at 1835 parked on the usual Beluga apron. I wonder if its in for Beluga replacement trials as the type has been mentioned as an eventual successor and the beluga fleet is already quite stretched.
Also of note was M-KENF Hawker 4000.
Any offers on the Beech 200/300 that arrived at 1855?
Best regards
Mark
