Thanks for the ID, was rather misty above my garden but shall count it as a 'seen' - very distinctive noise. Is this a Manx first visit of the type?

No Lodger - 2 RAF C17s have made approaches - in 2007 ZZ171 spent about an hour in the circuit, stopping the traffic ! while in 2010 ZZ175 did a go-round. First Canadian one though - annoyingly I had spent all morning at RWY and got home in Peel just in time to hear it call up !!

Parked at Area W this morning was PA28-181 G-BRNV which arrived yesterday.

Smart Falcon 7X M-FALZ arrived this morning from Biggin Hill for a first visit.

Beech 200 G-CIFE visited PJC as "BRO 67".

Phenom 300 CS-PHA is inbound at present (1615) as "NJE 8AQ"
