Re: RAF Marham Families Day - 31st Aug' 2023

I swung by about 1430 for a very quick look; A P8 did a fly past as I was parking up which if ADSB is to be believed was ZP808 (my last one 😀). Did anyone please visibly confirm it? On the ground there were a selection of microlights, other light aircraft and a Boeing 727 but of interest to me were;...

Re: How reliable are RAF Chinook serials on ADSB?

Thank you very much for the response. I wonder if 558 has had similar issues. Also a massive thank you for your priceless contributions to this forum, your posts have helped me out many many times over the years.

How reliable are RAF Chinook serials on ADSB?

Apologies for the question but curiosity has got the better of me. A Chinook flew low over me on Thursday 13th April and was showing on ADSB as ZK558 which is the only one I’m still chasing. I’m not usually one to take aircraft solely from ADSB but I’m just wondering if there are any known ADSB irre...

Re: Yeovilton Base Tour 04/04/2018

Thank you for a brilliant log. Could you please confirm ZZ401 was present and where it’s currently located? It’s the only Wildcat I’m still chasing.

Good work and thanks for sharing.

Re: Heli-sheds

ZK553 and ZK561 have been in the right shed for at least a couple of days and were still present at 15:00 today. ZK560 arrived back as airfreight this afternoon and will no doubt head over there too.

There was an unidentified Puma in the left shed.

Hope to help.

As it's my last one and just for my peace of mind, I thought I'd ask the question and see if anyone had managed to read it off. Call me old fa...
