Photo One was taken by Mr Terry Rann and published in the Isle of Wight County Press on the 1st April 2024. The local area detail was obtained from Google Earth © and the area view is from my Google Earth © derived database.


 

Location:  Just NW of Freshwater

Period of operation:  Ist April 2024


NOTES:  We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide', to thank for spotting this event.

The Grumman HU-16 Albatross, N98TP, is no stranger to our shores. It was certainly here, and in this area, back in 2023, landing at SOUTHAMPTON for example. There is quite a lot of information available on the inter-web regarding this luxury conversion that can be hired to explore, it seems, anywhere in the world if you can afford it.
