Unknown GA Type

[chachu207]

Hi all, can anyone assist with identifying this aircraft, as my GA recognition is minimal, to say the least...

Seems to be a SIAI-Marchetti SF260. Did you get a registration?

Unfortunately not, the reg was obscured by the wing or something else whatever position I tried to get into. Might also be something to do with the fact I left my glasses at home... :-(

Just as a note, I've been looking on the CAA's G-INFO database, and I looked up all the SIAI-Marchetti 260's, and none of them seem to match the colour scheme of this aircraft. I did find one however (G-BAGB), that's based at East Mids, and since the shot was taken at Nottingham Airport, I thought there may have been a recent colour change...? See here for the CAA page (http://www.caa.co.uk/application.aspx?catid=60&pagetype=65&appid=1&mode=detail&aircrafttype=SF260&dataindex=0)

Apart from that, it could have been a foreign registered aircraft I suppose.
