Arriving today at 1010 was brand new Agusta A109SP G-PIFZ. It parked at PJC for about an hour before departing again. A smart colour scheme!

The A.109 initially called up as "G-AIFZ", instantly recognisable to a 1960's Elstree spotter as an Auster! After a few more exchanges with ATC he corrected his call sign, sadly.

But it does win the best-shine-of-the-year-award

It later departed to Barton

The afternoon saw two BN Defenders from NI in quick succession, for holds and ILS

The first as "Army Air 270" was Defender T.2 ZH004

And the second as "Army Air 571" was Defender AL.1 ZG845
