Nice end to the year with the first visit of a Cessna 680 Latitude, in the form of M-MJLD in from St Johns Newfoundland at about 15.15 - due for a one hour stop before continuing delivery to Poland. Not sure there is much external difference from the Sovereign but it sure looks a very smart beast !
I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my fellow posters a very happy and great spotting 2016 and to thank everyone for their input - in particular "Evoant" and "Hawker" for their very helpful "heads-up" postings, which we all find very useful - so thanks a lot guys (we hope you'll have reason to post many more next year !).

After further investigation, I see the Latitude is slightly smaller than the Sovereign (one foot shorter though it looks more) and carries only 9 pax against 12 in the Sovereign. The main external differences are fewer windows - Latitude has 5 on each side plus a small one in the starboard emergency exit - Sovereign has 7 on the port side, 8 on the starboard; the Latitude has two "strakes" on the lower rear fuselage; both the later versions of the Sovereign and the Latitude have the "swooplets" (smaller than "winglets").
