RNAS Yeovilton Air Day Arrivals 2013

[Malcolm]

FYI Not strictly Airday arrivals, but those of you out there may see them.

The Tucano in the overhead at FL090 is ZF511, callsign BDN58
Three Grobs also showing - G-BYUL, VU and VY. And G-DOSA is also out and about half way between VLN and BDN.
And the only think out at Westlands at 09:00 was a solitary Army Wildcat - couldn't read it, but probably ZZ389.

I think this was the Grippens. 9238 plus one reported as being in. I still need 9237, so fingers crossed. I thought it was L-159's due though?

Seen one of each land, gripen was special marked one
