What looked like an unpainted Dakota flew into Biggin last Sunday AM. It appeared to do a circuit back towards the north (Dartford?) as it came over my place again about 10mins later. I think it must have landed after the second approach? Could have been someone undertaking proficiency training – maybe in advance of the D-Day flights in June? Anybody got further info? Cheers, PBY

It was at Old Warden last Sunday in an overall drab green/brown colour with no markings – clearly undergoing a repaint for the D-Day 75th celebrations.

Cheers guys. Yep, that was the one.

It departed North Weald for Dunsfold in the early afternoon, on Easter Monday. The trace on Flight Radar shows it overhead Biggin Hill twice on that flight.

I can’t guarantee, but I think it’s a fairly safe bet it was the Aces High machine. From the North Weald Diary 2019 thread:
Aces High’s Dakota, N147DC was out today doing engine runs and a brake test.
