Just saw what seemed to be an old 4-engine prop - a DC6 or DC7? - tracking south over LIverpool at 11.15 local time on Wednesday 28 October. Have no access to SBS or radio or any other fun equipment, so if anyone can help get a positive id onn this , I'd be grateful
Thanks in advance!

I saw this too and I think it may have been from Warton and from eastern Europe??? Any ID would be great!!

Hi Michael/Paul.
1623 Saudi Arabian A./F. C-130H Hercules was picked up on my S.B.S. bet. 1107-1131hrs.,today. Could this be your "Birdie".
Hope this helps.
Happy Spotting.

Thanks! I'm sure it was low winged but then again it was around 8000 ft!!

I had G-FIZU Lockheed Electra Atlantic Airways on my SBS today, if you saw a low winged 4 engine prop, then it was most certainly an Electra.

Hi Darren,
It did not show up on mine but no doubt that this is the one. See you soon.
Happy Spotting.

Belated thanks (I'm clearly working too hard - haven't had time to log on since posting my initial message!). Would like to try to claim the Saudi Herc, but while the old eyesight isn't as good as it used to be, I'm pretty sure the aircraft I saw was low-wing, so G-FIZU it will have to be.
