ZZ525 was parked at Otterburn this morning with covers on it so possibly your missing airframe,however there was a 2nd Wildcat at Otterburn today which was ZZ389 which is not part of the original list,so either been a change over at some point or a mis read?

ZZ384 c/s Siren 05 headed south on Monday and was seen over Ripon at 16:05 and then on approach to EMA and possibly Yeovilton bound ?
