3rd New Jupiter inbound Shawbury on delivery

Post by reds1966 » Wed Jun 10, 2020 11:34 am

G-CLKS EC145/Jupiter is on its way up from Oxford at present. Just overhead Bridgnorth inbound 12.34L

Msn is 20313 and is expect to become ZM499 although it has just passed west of my house with civil reg under the cockpit windows.

Thanks for the update, I read that the first of the 4 new ones arrived on May 26th and a 3rd one today.. when did the second one arrive? I guess no 4 cannot be far behind as well.

Yes that's right I didn't get round to posting but it was over Telford at 14.08 on the 29th so I guess was down for 14.30 local. It was CLKP, msn 20312 and per ukserials will become ZM498.

As for the other one I would think soon. I saw CLKS having an airtest out of Oxford last Friday and then delivered today so maybe that's the best way of getting advance warning (unless you have intel from the base?!?).

G-CLKS left Shawbury at 14.15 routing back to Oxford with a "Fenestron G" callsign. It was back again at 16.25 probably having taken the ferry crew back to Oxford.
