A Middle Eastern Visitor to Newquay

This UAE A319 dropped in for some circuit bashing in miserable weather conditions, callsign Kingdom1…he departed 4000ft to Exeter.

And the view from seat 2D, Air Southwest DH8C flying along the north coast of Cornwall.

It used to be Farnborough based and used the callsign Sharjah One. Kingdom is one of the big Saudi Royal Fleets so I presume they have taken the management of it over and moved it over to Gatwick…

The registration was previously used on a 737.

Just beat me to it there, last time i saw A6-ESH it was an old rickety B732.
Excellent shots Si.
4th shot is outstanding.

Look at the width of that runway – Must be just like Filton Si 😉
Good pictures as per usual.

Just like Filton but without the 747s……St Mawgan is supposed to be the widest runway in the UK, however Newquay Airport operators intend to narrow it by installing new runway lights in from the current runway edges.

Is that part of the UEA Royal Flight? Love the “up in the clouds pic”. Beautiful scene fella 😉

Yes, it is the Sharjah Rulers Flight, a VIP configured plane that does a lot of globetrotting. The registration was previously used on a 737.

The fourth is stunning Si, but the third isn’t showing.
