What's this?

Anyone positively identify this?...



I was up at Caesar's Camp yesterday, and spotted this climbing out of Farnborough Airport. A busy afternoon, with a number of departures possibly connected to the Grand Prix at the weekend. Mostly smaller Airbus/Boeing products, with a BAe146 in the mix. Then I spotted this taking off, and grabbed a snap.

Not, as far as I can tell, a:

Dassault Falcon; Gulfstream G650; Embraer Legacy 650

Only guess I can make is a Bombardier Global, because of the way the rear fuselage tapers to a point. Am I right, or can someone give me a steer as to what else it may be?

cheers

I would guess it's one of the Bombardier family. I'm not that well up on biz jets to be honest. A lot of them look fairly samey to me.

Yes, it is one of the Bombardier Global family. One of the bigger ones. Their website is pretty good so you should be able to track down the variant as your photo shows the key features (it'll come down to length of fuselage as the key external feature).

That's a Bombardier Global Express BD-700-1A10.

Looking at the reg, I think it's 9H-XRS.
