Friday 31st March 2017
Out on an overcast and showery ramp at 08:45 were:

ZZ384 Wildcat AH1 "Army"
ZK195/LC-35 Lynx for Algeria

Didn't realise the Algerian was still here.

Cheers

Had WHE04 over me Tuesday managed to ID it as ZZ513 through my photos. So ZJ120 is the third HC.4 conversion going ZJ122 and ZJ127?
