I guess its taking pictures as it was here yesterday and now its been flying around in circuits for the past hr,can anyone identify what it is?

 

Looks like a cross between a Dakota and a comet!

I think it could be this... Penultimate pic on the rhs of the screen...

It's definitely a DC3 Dakota but I don't know what kit its got on the underbelly

 

an Outfit based at Coventry had some as anti pollution sprayers for oil slicks, could be one of those.....

 

Unless it's Google taking some more aerial maps !

16 December 2007 - Coventry

 

[G-ANAF] Sporting a shiny new coat of red paint is DC-3 G-ANAF of Air Atlantique. This was owner Mike Collett's choice after seeing an aircraft land at Jersey airport with a similar scheme, and he was so taken with it he instructed the boys in the workshop to do update G-ANAF. The aircraft is used for pollution-control work and also does mapping/survey.

 

It has an auxilary motor on the right-hand side to power-up all the electronic kit inside, because the aircraft's

own power is not enough. The equipment installed is quite heavy and AA needed a good sturdy aircraft - because it's a tail-dragger, it's ideal as there is very little return on the radar of bits of the aircraft as the dome is at the very front of the aircraft. Courtesy Gary Watson

It flies low over Rugby quite often - you can hear the roar of the twin piston engines way before you can see it!
