Have spotted in the last few days twin engined aircraft flying low loops. Have seen it on multiple occasions, in the Campsie area and in the Banbridge area. Not close enough to get an ID on it, but, any takers?

Twin engine prop flew over Lurgan earlier, around 2:30ish.

Possibly N25XL up around this time.

Looks like the one.

Here is a photo of mine of N25XL from a few years ago-the wingtip tanks are a useful recognition point-it`s a Cessna 310Q

Definitely not my aircraft. I've a funny feeling it might have been one of the islanders?

Haven't had any Islanders on sbs nor heard any on r/t today so far. Only AAC c/s have been Gazelle.

Another shot of N25XL from different angle and shots of the Islander/Defender-fixed undercarriage of the Islander/Defenders is a good point to look for.

Hope these help. $:-\$
