Any one know what BMI 9451 is doing, t/o from East Midlands out over Liverpool, down to Cardiff then over Southampton and now heading back towards E.M.

Hi

Some sort of test flight?

Yesterday we had B.757 G-POWH tracking backwards and forwards between Boscombe and Yeovilton at various altitudes and at one stage at just 109Kts!!, while an American registered 737 was out over Lyme Bay apparently to and from Lasham.

Does not answer your question but we do get some interesting moves over the west country.

Regards

What's the stalling speed of B757s, I saw a C130 the other day that looked as though it was hovering, it was going that slowly, I was quite literally expecting it to fall out of the air!
