The Diamond Star is becoming very popular with the local flying clubs. This is one of several based at Shoreham.


I've spotted what looked very much like the twin-engined version buzzing around for a few days now


but today was the first time I got a chance at some shots. Patience pays off in the end.
           

First one I've seen. This one is only a couple of months old & registered to Diamond Aircraft UK. Probably a demo aircraft.

I'm now waiting to get the first look at the D-JET. I expect that will be a while yet.

Very nice shots Doug.
Very clear.

Quite a special looking aircraft.

Nice photos.

That twin is a real winner- I think we'll be seeing them flying for a long time.

Who knows? Maybe someday I'll have one...

That Twin Star is one beautiful aircraft!

Wow, that's one crazy looking twin!  I love it!  

Very nice Doug

Cool shots Doug! NOw all we need is a modeller to make us a such twin for FS9 FSX.

The twin star!!! Great plane isn't it! It is used at Ostend airport as a multi-engine trainingplane... At first it looks a bit odd, but it's actually very gracefull... Great snaps Doug!

Decent  looking aircraft Doug.

Wonderful shots.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Apollo  Aviation seem to be featuring the Twinstar on their website at the moment - they became an official Diamond service centre in June.

=very sweeping statement...


Why are they so bad?

I should have known that. It's in the July issue of the Shoreham Airport News.

I knew I'd seen it mentioned somewhere. It was either that link or in one of the flying rags ("Loop" perhaps)
