A quick look over the fence at around 14:00 hrs there looked to be three examples visible, one with 14 on the tail (guessing ZM514), one with civvy mark's and the other with just top half visible, any tie up's appreciated.

Cheers scarecrow, I did identify three yellow topped frames but of course they didn't have to be military variants, still would be interested in confirming the one with 14 on the tail.

The three Juno’s out at lunchtime were ZM514, ZM504 and G-CKIM (due to be ZM522 I believe). Be aware that there was also a Police EC.135 outside in a near identical colour scheme.

Many thanks Twinstar & Scarecrow, the one facing on the right that I noted was probably the EC135 so thanks for tie up's for the two on the left.

Right Twinstar are you talking about Oxford airport ? As we did not have any civ helis in Shawbury yesterday either Ascent or Police !

Unless they are stealth and my one hour and 45 mins in Shawbury vcr stint made me miss them !

Question for the Shawbury Spotters, are the Juno's and Jupiter's sitting out on the ramp yet. Thinking of diverting to see them if they are out next
Monday afternoon.

Cheers Ronnie........

Yes they are outside and flying, this morning 5 Junos's were outside at 830, Jupiters were in the hangar but one is back at Oxford

Normally use about 5 or 6 Junos's a day flying 10-12 sorties.
