A better day at home yesterday, with three frames and a scrape. The AAL B787 was my 790th of the type. The Fedex B777 was on its first trip across the pond as far as I could determine.

Another blank day for me yesterday, and today is just as grim, windy, overcast but at least it isn't cold. Off tomorrow from Stansted to Pisa for a three day "Beginning of Year" conference for work, we're being hosted by our Italian owners. The factory and HQ are in a town called Lucca, which is in the foothills of the mountains inland from Pisa. Lucca is a medieval walled town so really hoping I have time to spend a couple of hours taking in the sights plus there seems to be a lot of overflights so you never know, I might make a few. According to a work colleague who visited in November 2021, there's an aircraft of some description mounted on a pole in the middle of a roundabout in the town so that'll be one to watch out for.

Hi Graham. Your roundabout aircraft is Air Force PD808 MM62014 though unmarked and painted orange & white. Its beside the SS12radd which runs south from the town just before the entrance to the autostrade. The firefighting CH54 Skycranes are based at the local airport when not away firefighting

Hi Dave Thanks to your directions and Google Earth, I've found the location. It's possible I guess that if we come along the Autostrada to Lucca, then I might just see her on the way in... Piaggio in Lucca by Graham Brown, on Flickr

Hi Dave.. Noted in your list is N401VE, I also saw this yesterday but I think it is now a Global Express XRS, looked at the FAA site and they have no current record of 401VE, but is showing a pending number change to N283DM..Now looking at N283DM that is showing a pending number change to N401VE. At the time my radar box gave me (401VE) as a Global Express XRS with a c/n 9320 and that ties in with N283DM so maybe it has already swapped over..
Confused. cos I am, or I could be barking up the wrong tree or just barking mad... HELP!!!

After some more digging , Airframes.org have it as the Global XRS c/n 9320 registered 09/22 and active, hope this sorts things out.. Although don't understand why FAA site has no record. Chris.
