return of N368CE

Already listed by statewatch as part of the CIA fleet, and the subject of questions in the British Parliament, this airplane slipped unhindered into Shannon this afternoon, and left without any queries from the localauthorities. (Except perhaps "how many sugar in the tea?")

Spotted by Ed at Shannon this afternoon at 1pm, local time, N368CE, the Boeing 737 took off shortly after 2pm, on a heading of 110 degrees, roughly East by South East (which took it over my house as it happens)

Reportedly the aircraft is mentioned on the Luxembourg Parliamentary Assembly’s list of 41 “suspect aircraft” landed in Luxembourg: and the Luxembourg governmentdirected in February 2006, that Luxembourg airport authorities are required to inform immediately the competent Minister in case a flight plan indicates a planned landing of one of the aircrafts mentioned on the Parliamentary Assembly list. As necessary, competent authorities will inspect the aircraft.

Not so in Ireland obviously...
