Islander over Worcester ?
Snotty,
This has been puzzling me as well. I agree it can not be surveying or photography. E-mail me and I might give you a clue.

Was it a civvy one, or one of the mystery grey ones from Northolt?
Actually, it can't be one of them, because they don't exist. And even if they did, you certainly would not have seen one. Or all the strange aerials and antennas which they don't have.
You have said too much already. Watch out for Omegas with blacked out windows parked outside your house.

Islands in the sky
Looks red - but hard to tell as weather not brill - don't think it's the red devils either as noone has fallen out with an umberella.
Started around Weds last week, wasn't up over the weekend, but back Mon and every day since.

Yes they have. G-SJCH, Defender 4000 was the second Islander they operated. The first Islander was reported as going to the Cheshire Police. Worcester is near Hereford?;)

It is in Panama city by all accounts.
Winchester used to be just NW of Worcester at a place called Cutnall Green, but mover to Didcot in the early 1990s and has now effectively ceased to exist in the UK at all.

Thanks, very educational!
Funny, Winchester was in its usual place when I visited it last month just north of Southampton and to the west of the M.3.:confused:

Ah but this was the UK offices of the Winchester Repeating Arms Corporation / Winchester Ammunition Division of Olin Corporation.

This explains everything.
It's South American weapons smugglers. Running Winchester Rifles to the drug cartels of Herefordshire and Worcestershire.
Damn - where have my poppy seeds gone?
Cheers chaps.

Sorry - I'd forgotten you chaps were a bit lost outside Duxford's airspace.
Worcester's to the south west of Birmingham. on the M5. It's the site of the world's first municiple airport (Perdiswell) and some brown sauce stuff you can put on cheese on toast to make it into something else.
:D
Back to topic - could this be something to do with the environment agency checking the rivers? 10 days of circuits is a little strange.

The Army have a flight of Islanders based at Odiham - maybe some connection with an unanamed sister organisation based in the general area.

A couple of days ago G-SJCH was flying in large circles for a quite a long time over Northwood, Cowes on the Isle of Wight, there was a break and then it started again. In total I would estimate it was circling for about two to three hours. It was being used for flight trials to test a Radar at BAE Systems.

There's been an Islander NOTAMed for Worcester for the past week or so. Something to do with ground support operational readiness training?

Hello
does anyone know what the mystery BN Islander is doing/where from etc. currently doing circuits of the west side of Worcester???
It's been doing rectangular shaped circuits for the past 2 weeks nearly. At first I thought it might be updating aerial photos for the likes of Getmapping/Google but it's been up in all weathers above and below the cloud base.
Thanks for any info.
