She said he was an English guy flying it.

Its a small airport between Uppsala and Karlstad.

Nice looking plane.

That's a diamond DA42 twinstar owned by Diamond Executive Aviation (DEA) based at Retford/Gamston airport. They also operate the MPP variant with cameras on.

Interesting aircraft, a transatlantic crossing at 31 nautical miles/gallon is pretty respectable!

I've just been corrected and the aircraft is no longer owned by DEA so the reg is G-PETS or G-XDEA.

Carol vorderman is currently flying one in preparation for flying solo round the world.
