I was there when it came back in at about 10:40. Twas ZZ100, so presumably they've stopped using the Canadian box in it. It also is now carrying an instrumentation probe that looks very like an A-A refuelling probe.

Tuesday 7th June 2016
Out on a humid and muggy ramp at 08:45 were:

ZZ532 Wildcat HMA2 "Royal Navy" mkgs looks ready for flight
ZZ542/15-0602 Wildcat for South Korea
ZZ544/15-0605 Wildcat for South Korea

Probably answers the question as to the two Wildcats that went to Stansted yesterday.

Cheers
Malcolm

OOPS - wrong thread.

White one is prolly Algerian Merlin 7T-WVB ex ZR350 which returned to Yeovil mid May.
