Heres a few more of the weird Gulfstream 550 Snooper thingy at Edinburgh on Wednesday, apparently it is the first time one has landed on british soil, had a fair bit of interest in the shots, you never know when you’ve shot a rare one sometimes.
1st 2 have been posted in another thread:

Not really decent enough quality for publishing IMO, very poor lighting on the day. (wet behind the ears bit…. what is AFM?? )

From what i was told it is on delivery to the Israeli AF (they have ,i think, another 2 in service) and it carries it’s Israeli AF serial (544) under the cockpit.

It is registered to Gulfstream as a research and development vehicle, so the only Israeli connection is that it was built there, is that correct? You are not suggesting the Israelis are operating it are you?

AFM = Air Forces Monthly, the military publication of Key Publishing.

Cool shots, you might want to forward them to the AFM editorial staff. Chances are you’ll be printed. It is a rare plane!
