Good catch John - was he ADS-B?

Good to see the classic aircraft still getting around - I fear their days are numbered given the increase in pax airliner conversions now taking over traditional freight ops, however I have noticed a considerable increase in Russian built frames (An12 &26's) buzzing around UK airspace over recent weeks - long may they continue!

Nope, this is a good old clockwork Mode-S-only aeroplane, in fact I don't think I've ever logged an ADS-B-equipped DC-8. 

This airframe is a pax airliner conversion too, incidentally - first delivered to United Air Lines in 1969.

Cheers Dave - didn't think it would be

Remember picking up a couple of the Ghanaian examples last summer, and they were the same

It's almost as old as I am!

Nevertheless, great to see it hopping around and not sat rotting away in some desert
