XW846 last noted 25/05/2017 - departed Aldergrove as AAC552. I believe this has been withdrawn from service.

XW847 last noted 24/05/2017 - departed Aldergrove as AAC571. I haven't noted this since.

Seriously? I got the heads up from a person in the know over there and they give me the full list of gazelles still operating with 665 :S

Seriously, yes! Unless it came back very low level after the 24th May and I missed it.

I have rechecked my logs for 2017 and have no record of it showing on ADSB. I grant you that quite often the Gazelle helicopters operate without using ADSB but I can't think it to be used continuously in this way for the past 9 months. All of those listed have been noted at some stage over the past nine months but not XW846 nor 847. There are three presently in the air, one showing on ADSB and two not.
