Haven’t got the full details yet, but this Electra diverted to Gloster on Sunday, en route from the South of France to the US

Interesting that it has the U.S. reg. on the tail and the French reg. under the wings! A very impressive airport website for Gloucestershire Airport.:)

They’re in the ‘September Gallery’ link at www.flygloster.co.uk about 3 or 4 pages in. Not sure how to link directly to them?

Lockheed 12A NC18130

This aircraft flew near my local `drome,Liverpool,en route to Fife(Glenrothes) on Monday 3rd Sept.

She has a very interesting history having been used as President de Gaulle`s personal transport in the 1940s.

Cheers,GarethS

No pictures? I couldn’t find any at either of the links.

Also, does anyone know if there are any flyable L-10’s in this country?
