Whilst standing around outside Midland Courthouse, i saw this descending in on approach over Guildford. Noticed it had no signage or tail art and had me guessing as to what it was.

Unmarked aircraft?

In the words of the CIA, 'sir, you did not see an unmarked aircraft, there was no unmarked aircraft, now please accompany us to our vehicle'.

I did a bit of googling, this particular plane has carried cattle in the past, so it may well have been transporting high-value livestock.

Anything I say is my opinion, and has nothing to do with/does not reflect the views of anyone I was/am/will be involved with/employed by/volunteer for/associated with. There, I think that should cover it!

Possibly you are referring to VH-VGG a Bell 430. Its more black than blue though so i am just guessing its this one.
