Oil Spill B727 - Southend's newest resident

The two Oil Spill 727s operated by 2Excel are now based at Southend. Only G-OSRB has arrived so far but I caught it at sunset last night returning from an overnight stay at Cardiff.

Thanks, great to have it based locally. The second one is due to arrive next month I heard, but so far it seems they're flying to Cardiff for their training flights. I guess they won't be bashing the circuit at Southend due to noise abatement.

Some from a departure last week:
