No. ZZ102 went up to Sola for the airshow two weeks ago, but came back again the following Tuesday. ZZ100 (in primer), ZZ101 and ZZ102 are all still present. ZZ103 has been seen but not sure if it's flown yet. To complicate things there is at least one Coastguard AW189 there too, which is in a similar scheme. Don't know if anything has gone to Paris.Foxyee wrote:Have the first 2 Merlins for Norway, ZZ101 and ZZ102 already been delivered?

Finally something to report. Out on a warm and overcast ramp at 08:45 were:
ZZ40(3) Wildcat AH1 "Army"
G-MCGU AW-189 HM Coastguard
Fairly sure it was '403 - though could have been '408.

Re: Yeovil (Westlands) Sightings Summer 2017
Very little flying at the moment, maybe the test pilots are on summer hols. All I've had with regularity is the CG 189. Norway Merlins seem to be having a rest, last seen by me 16/6, last had a MK4 on 12/6, did have a Wildcat yesterday,
Re: Yeovil (Westlands) Sightings Summer 2017
Unidentified Wildcat flying this morning.

Re: Yeovil (Westlands) Sightings Summer 2017
Hi all,
Is ZZ103 still in primer I presume? On July 13th we had ZJ127, ZZ399, AW101 and ZZ415 outside, and as the doors of the first hangars were wide open we could see two primer Merlins. Possibly ZZ100 (which we saw last year, and is still in primer as I understand) and hopefully ZZ103?
