I spotted two aircraft today flying at Boscombe Down today but no idea what they were. An aircraft that could well have been a Texan black with a yellow (I think) tail at 14.10 and 5 minutes later a small helicopter took off that I have no idea what it could have been.

Don't think Boscombe operates a Harvard any more. They were occasionally "borrowing" Yak 50s but after a recent accident that may have stopped. Looking at FR24 etc an ETPS PC-21 was around at that time as were several Grob 115s (UAS?) and also an ETPS Squirrel.

I think it must have been a PC21.
