Picked it up also.

34:45 duration!? Really!?

[Robert.M]

The amount of time it was tracked on my FR24 box using VRS. So it was tracked for 34 minutes and 45 seconds.

[Rowan McKeever]

Didn't even think of minutes and seconds! I thought it was 34 hours (because I'm daft like that sometimes!).

[Robert.M]

VH-FWI, though weather was very average. Light rain, dull lighting (so needed a higher ISO) which ends up blowing out the sky. :/

Hi all,

I see the King and Queen of Norway and a large delegation are to arrive in Canberra sometime tomorrow, Sun 21st on a state tour of Australia, during which time they will visit Canberra, Sydney and Perth.
Is anyone aware of type of aircraft they will be utilising please.


Cheers John
