Marham 13/3

Post by slogen51 » Tue Mar 13, 2018 2:56 pm

At 14:40 there is a Tornado GR4? on two low loaders out side the west side of the big green spotter proof hangar.

I think it is the load training hangar.

Also on the the visitors ramp there is:
ZK021/L Hawk T2 vyt71
XX346/CP Hawk T1 pirate 05
ZF417 Tucano LOP02
Grob prefect ZM307 BKH13

morning slogen51, percy potter reported a Tornado on low loaders a few days ago, said it was destined for Cosford but cannot remember serial and have trawled reports for said entry but have had no sucess in finding it otherwise I would put serial. perhaps Gary can shed some light on this

Hi

According to the Marham Facebook page it is mostly likely to be ZA447

I was hoping it was ZA267 which is/was in that hangar

Cheers
Mike

after more trawling the percy potter post is on Tues March 6th and is reporting that ZA459 ( 025 ) is/was the A/c on low loaders for Cosford. so therefore you may have seen a different example. hope this helps

Slogen,
On the 14th, ZA447 was dismantled at the WLT hangar awaiting transfer to Cosford by JARTS.

I'm told that ZA267 has moved from Hangar 1 and is now located in one of the RESs.

Thanks

Thought it was ZA447

What's a RES ? Is it that line up of temporary shelters on the north side?
