Does anyone know of a bright red DC-3? One flew over today.

Also noticed a pair of twin jet-engined airliners flying overhead in a loose formation. White with red tails. Never seen that before.

One of the Air Atlantique DC-3 based at Coventry is painted red, but is quite distinctive as it has a large white bulbous contraption hanging under the nose, as it's used on a radar trials contract.

This one

Could well have been. By the time I'd got the camera out it had gone.

Cheers.

I think that's the one Aeropilot mentioned.

Must admit I didn't notice the white thing underneath.

Are Air Atlantique still based at Coventry Airport? I wonder how they are managing seeing as Coventry is supposed to be shut & in Administration now?
