Anyone know what was knocking about Wexford Coast this morning?

Drummerboy08

As above, military colours, would be surprised if it was civilian. Almost looked like a 737, definite jet engines as opposed to turboprop, wasn't a CASA.

Very low altitude, 100 feet or so over water just off the coast. Couldn't believe it when I saw it, so much that I completely missed what it was.

Any idea what the aircraft was?

Growler!!!

Reg is G-LUXE, it's a modified Bae146-300.

Looked like that alright, but it was a different colour scheme - it was a dark olive this morning. Aircraft looked the same though. Had a paint job recently?

This was it about six weeks ago and I doubt it has been repainted. There would be no need for it to be painted in a military-type livery.

It's a notam, again, google is your friend.

If you are contemplating a career in aviation it's not a bad place to start. You'll be looking at them the rest of your working life.

I can read most of that just not the bits of code.

Drummerboy08, a nice spot today. that aircraft was the very first BA146 ever built. she was out west later in the morning.

BeardySi

Also worth noting, it'll be on static display on Sunday in Prestwick as part of the Scottish Airshow if anyone's taking a trip over...

amen

In the second video above the co-pilot only has two stripes. I always thought that the co-pilot had three ?

Thats why you use the link Growler posted. That way you show that you are able to figure things out for yourself.
