Re: Culdrose 10/5/2018
Can't help much with the Merlins out on the pan, but otherwise.
Your first Hawk would be XX324.
XX205 should be the other (CU-842).
Hangar W11 airframes are all stored for use by the fire service and SFDO.
Merlin 511 is AV511, avionics mock up.
The Lynx/Wildcat is definitely a Lynx, but I'm not sure which.
Preserved Sea King XV673
Sea Hawk WF225
I'll ask around to see if anyone else has info on the other bits.

Re: Culdrose 10/5/2018
Thanks for the help so far!
Hope you can help me on the others.
I made a picture of the Lynx in hangar W11, so hope to see if it is the HAS.2 or XZ248.
I read about 511 not being a real one unfortunately.
In a previous post I saw Hawk coded 824 is XX200 ?
The Sea King near the Merlins should be a ASAC.7

Re: Culdrose 10/5/2018
You may have been correct originally with the Hawk actually. XX239 has also worn CU-842, and some of the codes have been swapped around (I haven't kept track).
Re: Culdrose 10/5/2018
Can anyone confirm only 1 Wildcat was flying this day?
ZZ533 is the only one in ADSB in Cornwall.
Anyone for the Sea King with code 03 on nose at SFDO near the Harriers please ?

Re: Culdrose 10/5/2018
I checked my pictures:
Sea King code 03 has a radome on top, so a HAS.5/6 ?
The Lynx in hangar W11 is XZ248, ID-ed from the text on the side and no code 69 like XX510 has.
I photographed a Merlin with tiger unit mks on nose at ramp next to 829NAS hangar. No code but I think to read ZH8(3)1, can this be correct?
Thanks Mark for the Hawk confirmation
