Today when i was out Cycling, I saw a airbus a320 flying low over West Sussex, first i thought it was a boeing 737-200. So when i got home and used playback on flight radar, it was the Royal Oman Airforce on approach to Bournemouth. Now want to know why did it go thier?
It was quite a sight and the only planes that use the same approach are Thomson and Ryanair 737's.

Perhaps in for refuelling conversion at Cobham Aviation? That's where the RAF Voyager (A330) fleet is being converted.

Eric/Stewart,
Hi, I think you will find RAFO are regular visitors to Bournemouth, both with their A320's, C130's and previosly with their wonderful 1-11's.
The company I work for do a fair bit of business with RAFO & we regularly deliver in to a Freight Agent there.
Hope that fleshes out the reason you saw the A320 a bit
Regards
Geoff
