Any Algerian Lynxes noted here recently?

Thanks.

I think both ZK192 and ZK194 are still there. '194 did visit Yeovil on Friday last week, but pretty sure it went back to Cornwall afterwards.

Thanks Malcolm.

Actually, last Monday morning 3 grey Lynxes were noted at Yeovil's flight test hangar according to the Yeovil topic in this board. However 'WHE03' was noted in both morning and afternoon on SBS logs.
Do you know when ZK192 was noted last?

The last SBS logs (from Yeovil) for the Algerians I have are:
ZK191 June 10th
ZK192 July 3rd
ZK193 July 22nd (today!)
ZK194 July 3rd

I'm pretty sure July 3rd was the date the Algerians went down to St Mawgan. Both 192 and 194 have been 'seen' on PP night flying on several dates. It's possible they have snuck back into Westlands unnoticed - they don't always turn the SBS on. What you really need is a log from the Families day - which I didn't attend so can't help there. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the 5th Algerian is in the flight shed, but from photos I've seen the sixth (and final) Algerian Lynx is still in bits in the assembly hall.

Merlin ZR339 "WHE12" is showing as airborne at St Mawgan as I type, and the spitfire at Yeovil has just departed.

Do you have a hexcode for ZK192?

I think this one might be ZK194:

The Algerians are flying on proper Algerian Hex codes..
[0A4046] = ZK191
[0A4047] = ZK192
[0A4048] = ZK193
[0A4049] = ZK194

The Koreans haven't been flying with valid Hex codes yet, the only one I've caught so far was..
[541000] = ZZ541

[43C761] = ZZ520, which is the latest Wildcat, and has been flying this afternoon.

I'm not registered on live-mode-s so can't view that website.

I believe Westlands swopped a Lynx on Monday with ZK194 returning to Yeovil and being replaced at Newquay with ZK193. Also Merlin ZK001 departed Newquay today after several months.

ZK193 was flying from Yeovil today as WHE01 at about 12:15L.

Both 192 & 193 were noted (read off) late Monday afternoon at Newquay, I'm not sure if there are still two Lynx here at the moment, maybe 193 returned to Yeovil
