From that description its not an airship.  Must be a miscode.

Air test from Exeter?

[Runway 31]

I have no idea Dave.  I think we are going to need an eyeball to sort it out.

I guess its a miscode for the parachute plane out of Dunkeswell.

Dave/Keith,

Info on searching mode-s suggests that it may be a helicopter which operates out of Benson

This could make sense because I know that they have used military helicopters for parachuting at Dunkeswell,
hence the 0033 squawk.

Paul on mode-s managed to MLAT it on Planeplotter in the Dunkeswell area today using the 0033 squawk and suggest that it may be Be99 N899AE.  All we need now is for someone to confirm this.

Hi

Looks like we may have another airship? A00002, N1A, squawk 0033 in the Dunkeswell area.

You could be right, as it is west bound over Cardigan at the moment.

Keith noted on Skyliner VT-IWA A332 ferried to St Athans on return to lessor, possibly inbound there and not Cardiff
