Rgr Ron logged him on tape and box.callsign was
PAAF-812 inbound Dover,talks fast but on tape repeat he added
the extra A. Papa alpha alpha Foxtrot or he studders.
Unknown on box as nobody at first search has this one.(764841)
I'll put the word out and maybe someone will tie it up.
When he got parking spot he called himself 4812 so maybe a clue.
Another odd visitor to Dover early yesterday and departed tonight 2330z eastbound was
AME-1001 (3431C6) A-330 MRTT Airbus A-322 (Multi Role Tanker Transport)
tail EC-333 but eventually will be A39-002 for the RAAF.
Came in from Brisbane Australia yesterday so crew rested for over 24 hours.
This is new Tanker transport EADS-CASA hence EC-333 test is working up for RAAF.
Also the Spanish mode s test (3431C6) and pilot had Spanish accent yet
officer with Dover CP 134.100 had Aussie accent.
Must be enroute Spain or France Airbus factory.
Here are pics of it a couple weeks ago in Brisbane still in primer paint,I hope.
