This morning circa 8:40am, there was a Piper PA34 - registration G-AZOL circling over Chelsea and Fulham, at a relatively low height.

It was low enough for me to read its registration with just normal eyes, and in terms of height - it was well under 200 meters - I had as a reference point the empress state building which google tells me is 117m high, and the plane was significant under twice the height of that.

I presume some kind of aerial photography? - as it seemed to be following an overlapping course.


The reason I noticed initially due to the sound of the piston engines - hearing a brace of unsilenced inline sixes, is a wonderful sound smile

I'd guess at Aerial photography too.

Love the Seneca, dad used to have a 3rd share in one, we did some great euro trips in it.
