Was pleased to see this aircraft this morning - Something different.
He was cooperative enough to give me a couple of circles so I grabbed the camera!

Good catch!  I just saw him distantly through binos, and even from that distance looked bizarre.

Makes me think of an F1 racing car with wings!

Diamond DA42 G-SERE is based at BFS,and here is a shot of G-IFTL,also a N.Ireland owner on finals to BFS on 25-this aircraft is now based in Denmark.

They are very distinctive aircraft.

As you say its a racey looking aircraft and one to look out for.
I like the colour scheme too as it adds to the sports look.😀
