I took these from my garden this morning
The Squirrel was doing a powerline survey and the King Air does a couple of trips between here and the Isle of Man every week.

Nice ones. Was watching a show a few days ago and one part of it was about line surveys. It took 6 months to cover their 'patch' and then they had to start all over again :)

Judging by the aircraft markings, the aircraft flew over Belfast today, heading towards Belfast International Airport. Sorry for the quality, it was a mile or two away when I took the pic.

Previously owned by London Helicopter Centre - hence the reg.
