Two very different aircraft ! D-FIBE and OY-TLP @ Norwich !

These two very different aircraft arrived at Norwich this afternoon, each somewhat liked and disliked, but both functional and each doing their designed job very well ????

First the somewhat ugly Pilatus PC-6 Turbo Porter .... but superb STOL aircraft .... used for most of the difficult to get at roles ! This one has been to Norwich earlier this year .... doing some survey work ??

D-FIBE.

Followed by this Piaggio P180 Avanti .... this is marmite .... love it or hate it ??? .... but it does what it say's on the tin ??

OY-TLP.

I think the term to describe them is functional Keith. very nice pics, thanks for posting them

Love both types - probably because they are different. Great shots too.
