The Mighty AW101/Merlin

Living in the South West of the UK means I am never very far away from a Merlin/AW101. Most days are full of the 'whip whip whip' of the blades somewhere up above.

Re: Yeovil (Westland) sightings 2022

It was ZR285 flying last week. It has now been fitted with a few more bits and bobs including nose mounted FLIR and has now got a tiny painted panel at the root of the tail. I don't believe 287 has flown, or for that matter, even been seen (irrespective of what the internet says)
