Ronaldsway Monday 14th

After a totally dead Sunday it got a bit busier today, thank goodness !

Starting before nine with a go-round by Hawk T2 ZK017/H as "VYT87", then mid morning Capital's Beech 200 G-ZVIP was closely followed by G-KVIP - unusual to get two in at once.

Then Qinetiq threw everyone when "Gauntlet 58" revealed itself to be A400M Atlas ZM405 instead of the usual BAe146 !! It performed several approaches & go-rounds (after initially saying only two) then having cancelled a proposed visit to Prestwick, it headed off to Newcastle.

Early afternoon then saw Cessna 560XL G-CGMF on what I believe is a first visit, as "Apex 4G".

When watching G-ZVIP on FR24 this morning it appeared to turn around and go back to Exeter before G-KVIP returned later in the morning

Some photos taken today:

ZM405 from Brize (given how many go-arounds it did, there was plenty of chance to photograph from different locations!)
