I think you mean the military serial GZ100. :)

That civil registration was de-registered on 09 May 2016.

Ta Phil.
I know I have already texted you but any "early bird" reports of new prod ac seen outside on your "dip & goes" always appreciated. Guess that will be a while now that you have finally bagged the last omani typh. Of course it will some time now before the next load of export jets work their way through production for qatar.

I'll continue to keep you updated on anything of particular interest.

Cheers MG

Pair wildcats seen on approach rwy 25 just as T5 returned in ZR409.

These were eyeballed as ZZ533 & ZZ414 both HMA2's from 815 NAS.

At least one of them dep to Woodvale as "Skua 2" at 1145z. Not on ground very long if only the pair.

XX339 coded CL did initials25 then o/s. ZK017 coded H.
WTN05 in NS9 did target attack from west then repositioned for wheels up flythrough; think he did an orbit out to east holding off, waiting for wildcats to clear rwy before one T/g and land streaming chute (done on pfat1 unless it fails to operate which was a conmon prob in early days or crosswind excessive etc)

Cheers

Poss delivery to CGY early pm after partial airtest depending on outcome as per previous ex short term stored ac.

Cheers

PS without splitting hairs NS9 was seen from Lytham getting airborne on sporty T/o at 1044z (or min or so before) yesterday. Thanks for your helpful daily logs anyhow always easier to comment on something already posted much harder to start the ball rolling so to speak!

It makes sense the initial time of 10:39 was slightly out as I watched NS9 take off from corner without a watch then immediately watched ZE119 t/o so by the time I updated the logs I was 5 mins out... Guess I got a little excited!
Was a fantastic day movement wise yesterday although it was a shame the 4x Apaches didn't come into EGNO, any ideas were in Lancaster they went, I thought initially they were transiting to Carlisle?
Always helpful as usual for the added commentary...
