UAE herk still there right?

Yes on the N side.

Hi all, Can anyone tell me if the RN dolphin is photographable from outside the fence? Tia, Robert I think that cancelled a while ago, but don't hold me on that! Yep cancelled few weeks ago. Well Dauphin ZJ165 is definitely in the gren zone static. Posibly photographable from outside but didnt see ...

Anyone for where Chinook D-483 as i seem to have missed it?

G-CMIU was delivered into Shawbury today.

One of my big gripes with MAM has always been the way the US serials are presented, i guess it was fair enough when all the aircraft of one type had the same serial presentation but now KC-135s and C-140s wear a mix of 'last five' and 'tactical' serial presentations would it not be better to list th...

After analysing photos of the ones outside this week I have identified the following. Running clockwise :- G-DLRA ASTOR (marked with reg) ZH001 - serial to left of roundel and rearmost tie down marking consists anchor and yellow dot. ZG998 - serial to left of roundel, tie down marking consists of ju...

Does anyone have decent photos of the Defenders outside at Lee on Solent this week? All the aircraft have slightly different presentations of the Zxxxx - ARMY on the fuselage, I've done a bit of research and beieve they are all identifiable from decent pics of the starboard side.

Can anyone confirm when these returned home?

Kuwaiti A340 and 737 due into Birmingham Sunday.

I believe ZK370 hasnt flown since 2015 when it had its test flights. I have noted several times either on the pan near the sports club or the test pan next to the River Ribble. I believe its only used for ground testing.

Why is there no chance of more Hawks? The last Hawk of the Qatari order only flew for the first time last month, presumably the jigs etc are being kept at Warton so re starting the line wont be an issue.

Yes, as in it is a stripped cab, minus engines etc. Seems to be some sort of training frame. It is NOT one of the SFDO training frames.

Can anyone supply an identity to the stripped Merlin in hangar E2? It is in the back half of the hangar behind the gliding club aircraft.
Thanks in advance

5207 would have been to the left of it and was only visible nose on.

The SP and AVs left for home on Friday.

They are visible from one spot on the A1065 about 100 yds towards the main gate from the pull in. You need yo be looking over the top of the soil bank at its lowest point and both sre visible nose on between the hangars
Not the easiest to see.
Hope this helps.

Can anyone confirm the first French CN.235 today was 193?

Did these leave Leeming or are they still there?
