Title: Any Ideas
Post by: Hamish McTorsk on June 20, 2012, 11:38:37 AM
Does anybody have an idea what this AC is up to, appears to belong to Air Britan and has been flying backwards and forwards in the area of my house in the Copenhagen area at around 1500ft for the last couple of hours.
I ask this because on the underside of the right wing 'Survey' is written..........
What could they be surveying??

Sorry about the bad quality of the pic.............

It's a Partenavia P68B owned by Ravenair Aircraft Ltd:

I suspect it's doing some survey work:

Hi Hamish,

One thing it surveys is gas pipelines.
