Twin Engine Warbird Near Welshpool
Saw a fairly large twin piston engine aircraft circling north of Welshpool this afternoon. A Blenheim came to mind from the nose section.
Anyone know what was in the area?

FED's clock is on war time...
If it was the Blenheim it might not show up on ADSB...

It shows up on Mode S, but not on ADS-B. Having said that, it's a couple of years since I've picked it up hereabouts.
FR24 doesn't seem to have any MLat tracks for it.

To confirm whether it was the Blenheim, I would suggest keeping an eye on the Duxford Diary thread on UKAR. If it did fly during the Sunday, one of the resident snappers may have gotten a shot of it departing and/or arriving.

Avoid imitations
Possibly a Vulcanair P68…..they sound like something from a bygone era. Because they really are!

If you'd given us an approximate time in the first place
But my point was that you're much more likely to get an ID for a sighting if you (or the person taking the trouble to help you) can search FR24 around a specified time, rather than hoping that there might have been a PPRuNer who happened to be in the area, whenever, and who spotted a likely candidate.
