Evening,

A couple of recent French visitors to Southampton Airport, a TBM-700 in April and a Xingu in late May.

Thanks for sharing these, I know that this airport does attract the occasional military visitor, but nice shots. I think that Xingu is an Air Force one, if it were Aeronavale, there would be an anchor on the roundel.

Thanks. It is in Air Force colours but was using a Navy callsign on both flights. Could be a frame transfer.
