Winglet Wednesday 2nd April 2025.

Close-up of the up-turned (and down-turned) wingtip of a blue and white jet airliner parked facing to the left. The plane's body is dark blue at the top, pale blue in the middle, and white at the bottom. Part of the registration, "G-FD" is visible on the right of the frame, in white. The split wingtip is pale blue, with a chrome leading edge. The top bit has a red logo that is somewhere between the letters "T", "U", and "I" all mixed together, and a winking smiley face. The lower section has a red tip at the bottom. Grey-blue sky fills the background over the top of the plane.

Slightly grainy side view of a white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined light aircraft flying from right to left ot a low altitude. The plane has a dark blue belly, and red and yellow stripes running along the body. The registration "G-RVNP" is visible under the left wing, and on the side of the rear fusleage. The word "Survey" is visible under the right wing. There are small, black "RavenAir" titels on the lower part of the tailfin. Bright, hazy skies fill the rest of the frame.

RavenAir operates a load of these for survey and mapping flights, and are regularly spotted in the skies around the UK.
