I know I must be missing something clear and obvious here.... Taken today at Derby Egginton, a partly obscured PA28, which for all the world seems to read G-EGPD, but I can't find a reference for that reg. I've tried any variations that might fit but still coming up with nothing. Any ideas?  P1030771 by Ian Crean, on Flickr |

 Deke, I had a look at G-INFO as well as the LAASi website nothing on yet- more than likely have not updated the sites as yet- I'm sure it will be soon, you could always give the Derby Aero Club and cheeky phone call and ask. I'm sure they will give you the answer you require. Happy Days Bob

Thanks Bob
Happy to hold on, think it's the first time I've seen a new reg before it's hit the register so wondered if my eyes, or the camera perspective, were deceiving me!

It would appear that D-EGPD was written off in a mid air collison in 2006 according the note found on the following link www.airport-data.com/aircraft/photo/000844446.htmlPiper PA-28-181 Archer II [28-7790477] Lubeck~D 21/05/2006. This aircraft was written off in a mid-air collision with D-EHDM at Bad Schwartau Germany on 22-09-2006. You wouldn't expect that to be a restorable outcome - although I can see the coincidence in registration terms Farrell 1 |

You wouldn't expect that to be a restorable outcome - although I can see the coincidence in registration terms Farrell 1 Hi Farrell Looking at the accident report on ASN and using Google translate it does seem that D-EGPD was the less damaged and was able to land safely. Sadly the other aircraft was destroyed, and the pilot deceased. "the Pilot flew back to Lübeck Airport and performed a low overflight in direction 25 there. The control tower reported to him that the Nose landing gear and the right main landing gear are missing. The pilot then landed aircraft 1 14:37 hrs on the grass runway in landing direction 07. At the landing, the propeller was bent and the Underside of the right wing due to the missing right landing gear slightly damaged." So, it remains possible that this is the frame in question but it's a long time afterwards for sure. Will keep an eye on it, and thanks for taking an interest. Cheers Deke |

We were at Egginton yesterday 16th July 2022 and it is definitely G-EGPD, we were told by our guide it was new to the register, strange how it's not on G-INFO yet.

hi,
could this be a case of "lets fool the spotters", it has happened before and will happen again, i remember a open day visit to Fleetlands some years ago, we came away with some very ghostly helicopters... i'm not positive but from distant visits some at the field were not very spotter friendly...
regards,
dave...
