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 :)

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!
 
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.

Cheers,

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