Out on a chilly and overcast and ramp this morning at 08:45 were...
ZZ549 Wildcat for The Philippines - painted overall dark grey.
Not often I get a paint scrape - Indonesia on Friday, Philippines on Monday Anyhow, it's got "NAVY" written in large black letters on the rear fuselage, and a black winged symbol with presumably Philipino writing above it on the boom. There is some silver tape on the tail presumably covering markings there too. The UK serial is in small white letters on the lower part of the boom.
Cheers

Re: Yeovil (Westlands) Sightings Autumn 2018
Showing on RadarBox between 1300 and 1330 43C47E which decodes to ZR356 HH-101A. Is this the first flight of ZR358 using an old mode-s code???
Re: Yeovil (Westlands) Sightings Autumn 2018
12.43 WESTLANDS 06 heard advising en route Lyon, France - routed along the south coast towards Lydd then across channel - ADSB suggests AW101 ZZ100
Re: Yeovil (Westlands) Sightings Autumn 2018
WHE06 ZZ100 just arrived at LIMZ 20/11 will be working here and Vergiate for tests.
Re: Yeovil (Westlands) Sightings Autumn 2018
Noted on RadarBox between 1625 and 1640 mode s 43C910. Could this be the next Brazil upgrade???

Out on a Baltic but clear ramp this morning at 08:45 were...
ZZ549 Wildcat for The Philippines - painted overall dark grey.
ZH965 Lynx for Brazil
Still not got the Italian Merlin/Caesar. The wash rack was up, so I suspect there will be something going for a shower later today.
Cheers

Re: Yeovil (Westlands) Sightings Autumn 2018
I’m told that a Norwegian Merlin is now on the wash rack.

Norwegian Merlin on wash rack, no ID as yet. Philippines Wildcat just landed for fuel. Brazilian Lynx and Italian Caesar also on flight line but nose on so unable to confirm ID as yet.

Re: Yeovil (Westlands) Sightings Autumn 2018
Correction - Brazilian Lynx ZH965 was towed back to the hangar.
Re: Yeovil (Westlands) Sightings Autumn 2018
Would anyone be able to confirm what Brazilian Lynx are still at Yeovil please?
Re: Yeovil (Westlands) Sightings Autumn 2018
The CSAR is ZR358/15-07, was there when it was towed out, no idea as to the Norwegian, was being washed earlier, could be ZZ105 prior to delivery?
