Theres two of us that use this id one of us is a lady the other is me a chubby but likeable slaphead.

We have recently been getting Electra’s doing the overnight mail runs from Exeter.

but of course, how silly of me not to know.

i note tho, that he did say it was a turbo prop aircraft…….

Handley Page HP.42 Heracles;) You didn’t say ‘how’ many years this has been bugging you:cool:

Around about that time of night an Aurigny Shorts 360 returns from East Mids to Gatwick (Mon-Fri). If LGW is on 26L they would get a direct that would take them over the top of you. There may well also be some Emerald and Channex ops around that time as well.

It could very well be a Herc, there are a few civvy versions regularly doing the night mail and newspaper shifts across the South and to Ireland too. Air Contractors I think ? Sorry I can’t be more specific.

Thanks mate i have been thinking its a Herc for ages still can’t tell for sure though.
