Re: Yeovil (Westlands) Sightings Autumn 2016
Hi Bob,
About 0915 ZZ548 was out as well. Then about half hour later I was at Morrisons fuel station and it had obviously taken off earlier as I saw it come back. I drove back up to the East end and it was outside again but shortly it after was towed into the hangar.
Regards
John

Hi Phil,
Nice log, I'm pretty sure that is the first sighting of ZZ527 Wildcat AH1 for the AAC. I believe this is the last one to be delivered for the British as well!
Cheers
Ben

Out on an overcast and autumn-y ramp at 08:45 were:
ZJ122/F - Merlin HC4 grey scheme
TNI-AU Merlin Mk? - for Indonesia? Gloss Green/Green/Brown camo, hi viz red/white roundel and fin flash, black serial on boom, no rotors and many panels missing. Towed out of the flight hangar towards the west end.
Wasn't aware Indonesia had ordered Merlin(s)? I could also see a White Turkmenistan Merlin in the flight hangars - is this one back for spannering or a new one?
Cheers
Malcolm

Re: Yeovil (Westlands) Sightings Autumn 2016
Malcolm,
The Turkmenistan should be EZ-S714 It was in the flight shed on 17th August with sister 715 out on the flight line.. I believe 715 went back through Stansted not long after
The Indonesian Merlin was towed back in to the flight shed circa 13.00 today. Its place on the Wash Rack was taken By Aw189 G-MCGO- possibly its first airing and yes I know you dont collect these ( Not Mil) but may be of interest to others.
Regards,
Colin
