Two Sea King HC4s refuelled around lunchtime today - they parked up on the old Nimrod pan. Sorry no ids but both had a large White Ensign / Royal Navy badge on the starboard cabin door (couldn't see the port side).
As they were taxying out about 1pm there was a Lynx Mk9 inbound - that seemed to go to Cargo,

Any additional info very welcome.

Its been very quiet on the based jets so far this year.
