Two shots of Basler BT-67 Turbo Dak C-GGSU arriving at Southampton this evening from Iceland, CGG are a GeoScience group so i guess this could be heading for Africa.

Unfortunately its arrival was after sunset in grotty rain!!

Great shots - I was alongside the runway threshold when it landed and the light was awful. Routing Canada to Papua Nu Guinea (credit SOU Facebook for ultimate destination). Epic journey for a 75 yr old airframe.

Nice looking frame all the same. The PT6 engines whilst not quite as nice as the Wasps aren't too bad either - although I guess the sound is quite different!
