Default Another unidentified aircraft
My dad just gave me a call and told me that at 11:36 this morning he saw what looked like either a grey KC-10 or a Tristar.

Can anybody confirm what this plane was.

Thanks

RAF L1011 just arrived. Parking on Bay 31 at T1 as I type.

RR3666 was his flight number.

Rego is ZD950.

Thanks Nigel. The old man's eyes are still reasonable after all!! If you find out a departure time it would be appreciated.

Bit off topic but,

Also just heard "Kiwi 760" (?) heading into Richmond?

Anyone know what that was?

I saw that from a site I am doing some access control/supervision work at in the Eastern suburbs and could have sworn it was a KC-10* but in my defence this role is 99% boredom and 1% shear mayhem and it did pass over during the 1%

Cheers

"Ascot 3666" arriving this morning. Cheers to Morris Biondi for letting me know it was coming.
