Beech starship.

I couldn't get a photo in time but found this on the net, just flew over my work.

Wow, I read the other day that only 18 (IIRC) of those were built, so having one fly over your house is probably not an everyday occurrence, then

That is one very strange looking aeroplane.

Get quite a few heli's and small planes fly over going into London probably from Gatwick, all the passenger jets do a sharp left above work into Heathrow, it sounded just like another little prop plane going over and glanced up and saw what I am pretty sure whats in the picture,ran for my phone to take a pic but it had disappeared behind the houses . What I did read briefly was they are in very limited use and cost $3,9 million for the first model and $4.7 million for the later version.they where made from 1983 to 1995. 53 produced!

Well I'll watch out for the return trip lol

Maybe it could have been a Piaggio Avanti ? A very similar looking aeroplane and a bit more numerous than the starship .

Starship was all I could find at the time that resembled what I saw, it's more likely your right because I no nothing about planes and your knowledge is far superior to mine on the subject :nerd: :thumb2:

If there are only 18 then a red one flies regularly around the house at Subang Airport...formally international airport.

I remembered wrong, as Mark said it was almost three times as many, so it’s a very common aircraft after all
