Re: what did I see? (Aircraft)

Thats interesting, May have been a Beechcraft Starship... but I doubt it due to very limited production. Have a look on Google images. Incidentally, went to"Cold War Jets Day" at Bruntingthorpe airfield near Leicester the other Sunday. What a day, despite the rain, they run up and taxi a different j...
