Astra Aerospace / Air Affairs (Australia) Learjet 35A Bizjet VH-LPS "Beagle 51" Pops into Rockhampton Airport

On Monday 12 July, Astra Aerospace / Air Affairs (Australia) Learjet 35A bizjet VH-LPS "Beagle 51" was spotted on the ground at Rockhampton Airport after it had earlier direct from HMAS Albatross at Nowra in New South Wales.

After just over an hour on the ground, VH-LPS "Beagle 51" departed Rockhampton Airport and returned to Nowra.

No doubt its visit is on behalf of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and in support of the upcoming Exercise Talisman Sabre 2021 (TS21).

Sincere thanks to local plane spotters John L for taking the time to capture and send through this great photo of a hard to catch plane!
