Update
ZK025 & ZK031 apparently returned last week with the remainder returning early this week(?) following some post damage assessments.

ZK015 was the last to return and had suffered the worst damage (noseleg replaced?)
ZK017, ZK026 & ZK032 all returned 23/2.
ZK037 returned a day or so later.
A deployment to forget I would imagine!
