Civil ISR aircraft
Civil ISR aircraft
Lets have a thread for civil registered ISR aircraft. Any civil aircraft or helicopter operating Govt/mil contractor Intelligence and Reconnaisance; fishery protection; Police Surveillance; civil Geophysical, oil spill or photo survey; even TV News.
If it is civil registered large or small and has cameras, listening equipment or imaging radars of any kind then add it in.
Here are mine, I've posted quite a few to give a full flavour of the variety available in this theme.

Re: Civil ISR aircraft
Here's a small collection from me.
2Excel Aviation PA-31 Navajo with Dusty Bin modification
During the British Army 'Pashtun Dawn/Tiger' exercises on Salisbury Plain, contractor operated ISTAR aircraft would overfly frequently. It was always most interesting to listen to the radio communication and target acquisition chatter on the scanner, using everyday events as simulated threats including on one occasion an old lady on a bicycle cycling through Chitterne who was subsequently targeted by a couple of Apaches.
A Diamond DA-42 MPP patrolling over the Wiltshire tribal areas
and Cobham Turbine Islander with the ISTAR pod just visible on the port side
This Airscan Cessna 337 Skymaster was operated on behalf of the US Government over Macedonia. Here it is seen at Dunkeswell in Devon minus the FLIR ball and other gadgets.
One of the much written about fleet of Cessna 406 Caravan IIs that operate over London and SE England.
Finally, I believe that Avdef are a Cobham company and operate in a similar way to the UK based Falcon 20s. The NATO JEWCS are based at RNAS Yeovilton so the Falcon 20s are occasional visitors.

Re: Civil ISR aircraft
and a very recent addition from me, Eurocopter G-ESEX of the Essex police last evening while I was doing some bird photography close to their Boreham base, this was on it's return and the observer seemed rather interested in my 100-400 lens being pointed at them!

Re: Civil ISR aircraft
London's Air Ambulance seen at London's "vertical gateway", the Heliport on the Thames. It uses the facility for refuelling and crew breaks. Having just been refuelled it is being pre-flighted and then departs with Battersea rail bridge in the background. The paintwork has somewhat changed since these pictures were taken in 2012.
