Just went outside....heard radial engines high over Runcorn...looked on flight radar....a variation on the old Beach 18 a 9800ft. 08.05
From the Stratford area routing North.
Sounded great....unfortunately could not see it due cloud.
Built 1952....like the old days.

Robbo was telling me another Beech 18 Expeditor 3TM G-BKGL, crashed on Corsica 14-09-21 and completely destroyed but no fatalities. As seen by me at Bruntingthorpe. Shame as it was a lovely aircraft.

Yes, I saw it also at Staverton, Dave but as you have posted an excellent photo there is no need for me to do so.
