Around 14.50ish I saw an 8Flt Dauphin over Abingdon, it looked like it had just departed the airfield, any ID on this please?

I live close to Benson. My ADSB AirNav system picked up G-HOTB (which is dark grey all over) yesterday between 14:50 and 14:55 yesterday, climbing from 525ft to 1725ft.

Can't confirm where it lifted form, but it seems highly likely to have been the one you saw.
