Re: Merlin on low loader A303
Yes, ZJ125 - my bad.
Went in to RNAS Yeovilton - from the pics looked striped down.

Merlin on low loader A303
Hi guys,
My friend is currently traveling along the A303 passing Middle Wallop heading west and has sent pictures of a Merlin being transported on a low loader.
Does anyone have any information regarding the airframe? He unable to pass by as it’s taking up two lanes.
Thanks.

Re: KC-10 Final Flight
Thanks for the update EAGLE.
Sad to see this coming to an end. Maybe Omega will take up some of the airframes?
TWZ have a story published:

Pilot Officer V. A. Carter
Hi all, My uncle has written a piece in the Dedham Parish Magazine for their 80th D-Day special. It’s written about his dad, my grandfather, Victor Carter. I had an inclination that he had joined 16 squadron but was never 100% certain. Very proud to say the least. I thought I’d share. Enjoy. Dave. "...
