Cheers Karl,

Thanks for this and look forward to any confirmations you have as I do not think they were logged on departure.

Kind regards

Afternoon Karl,

Hope you are enjoying anexcellent Festive up there.

On 22nd November I recorded an Italian AF P180 Avanti which showed on Planeplotter as MM62204 which went past me in Scotland and returned later so I suspect it went to Keflavik. I note you have only logged in your report those that are first time at Kef but can you confirm which Avanti did land as the AMI are very prone to incorrect SBS serials. Much appreciated.

My best to you for the coming Year, stay warm, stay well.

Kind regards

Wednesday 25th December,

2 MC-12Ws? were showing as departing Keflavik to LKPR( but were not reported there on www.planes.cz).

13-0283 ? CROOK23 hex AE5623

13-0282 ? CROOK32 hex AE5622

Both these hex codes were logged over Scotland en route south east.

Hi, I did a quick search on the day you mentioned and I found no Italian aircraft in my log.
Do you have the hex code for me ?

Yes, My SBS logged ther arrival in Keflavik on the 24th.
I can not confirm the types but by the noise I heard when they departed on Christmas day I would guess Huron's or King Air's
I managed to jump to the scanner and hear that CROOK32 was ascending eastbound to 20.000 feet (according to my SBS feed it was indeed AE5622)

Are you sure they were MC-12's. I cant add them to "my Scrambe log" if am not sure of the registrations.

That's whet they are reported as on one of the SBS forums. They were not reported in Prague, so the exact type cannot be confirmed.

They were due to depart Prague to Antalya.

Evening Karl,

My apologies, my poor notes - it was 23rd November with callsign IAM 1495 and HEX 33FFD4. The HEX matches my research for MM62204 but wondered if it was something different as that serial is also what it showed all the way up the UK from my sources.

Many thanks for checking, much appreciated.

Best

Rick
