Presumably Salzburg, hopefully weather related and not mechanical?:)

That’s a shame it’s stuck in saltzberg but at least it’s in good hands

Here’s a vid of the Howard 500 that I shot at Coventry in 2003 ( apologies for the shaky transfer, used my old camcorder as a tape transport and it expired soon after ).

Is that the same aircraft that appeared at Wroughton for the Great Warbirds air display many moons ago?

Yes!

October sighting of Howard 500

This passed distantly over Sywell Aerodrome 13.45 on 25 October 2011 – info verified by airport manager. From what others are saying was this in fact the departure flight to Europe?

N500LN hasn’t been that elusive, surely? She’s been centre stage at AIRBASE for the last year or so.

N500LN left for Europe in October, the last I heard she was in Salzburg, after travelling through Belgium. Found a couple of good pictures here:

Stranded in Salzburg for the whole winter, until both engines replaced by new ones.

Do we know what “venues” this 2011 European Tour will include?
