Hi there , Saw the loose 6 ship "formation" just after 11am , only managed to read 1 serial off :- XR241/G-AXRR , another was coded "N" & the leader was just calling G-??NT . Anyone any ideas of the IDs of the rest ?
Cheers , Cloudhawk

Of course if they were scrambled the c/s would change from "SRG" to "Rescue" & that would be either while airborne or on departure from the SAR dispersal . Cloudhawk

Hi Jon , it was probably "SRG 169" , that is the primary a/c c/s , if the 2nd Sea King got airborne(usually just for training) that would use "SRG 170" .
Cheers , Cloudhawk

Hi all , The Open Skies AN30 overflew here at 11am local this morning , flying East-West , then turned South-West towards Cornwall .

Hi there H in D ,
The 2 HU.4s were :- "Junglie 01" ZA298:Y & "Junglie 02" ZE427:K (serials supplied by Seaking 93 via a VL thread) , the Wildcat was using the c/s "Marine 14" but no serial is known for this helo.
Cheers , Cloudhawk

"Junglie 01", a Sea King HC.4 , landed for fuel at Chivenor on Friday morning . Cheers , Cloudhawk

Second that on the Spring Gala , I usually ride the line on 1 day & photography on another day , I only live an hour or so away so can pick the "best weather" days .
Cheers , Cloudhawk

Great set of shots , nice to see my favourite engine , 34046 Braunton (that's also where I live) performing out of her Southern territory . We're very lucky that we have so many main line ticketed steam locos available .
Once again , thanks for posting , Cloudhawk
