I'm not exactly sure Paul, it has offices with it also, fairly substantial building

What i have noticed of recent times is significant increase in biz / exec jets. Im not an expert in these type of aircraft but some are quite large indeed and arrive from the US for example.

Thanks for that, looks good. Obviosuly a sign of business increase which is always good news, certainly Merseyside is setting its case out and seems to be successful..

As there are so few aircraft about, you notice when you see anything at all flying. While digging in the back garden watched an ' islander' like aircraft, that seemed to being circuits from the LPL direction doing a loop then heading back. I read somewhere that Ravenair who are based at Liverpool were doing some surveys north of London recently, so I wondered if it was them. I notice they have a Partenavia P68B/ Observer in their fleet which is a bit Islander like so maybe it was that what I saw.

Expect so I've seen the Ravenair a couple of times over the last few days on FR from Liverpool.

Based on an ERJ145 but slightly different looks as you`ve gathered

 

[blotbuc1]

Think the Sentinel is based on the Bombardier Global Express rather than the ERJ145

ZP802 Boeing P 8A Poseidon visited Liverpool yesterday.
This was its first visit and was doing some local circuits. I imagine this aircraft is to takeover from Nimrods, which have also been seen quite often at Liverpool. ZP802 operated in from Kinloss

Thanks Carl. I did see it on its way around Penketh and to me it just looked like an all white frame.

Still working up to full squadron strength and awaiting deliveries from Boeing. They are going to be based at Lossiemouth when the facility updates have been completed. In the meantime they are operating from the old Nimrod base at Kinloss, which reverted to being an Army base after the Nimrods were scrapped.

From the photos I've seen of it around and about it's a pale grey all over, but I think it would look white from a distance.
