Re: Yeovil sightings winter 14/15

Rotorless Italian went from wash rack to hangar today and has been pulled back out on to flightline. Serial taped over but code is 15-03.

ZR339 ZR352 and ZR353 all flew plus Dysons AW139 G-DCOI arriving around 0900 and hangared. I-AWCK AW169 and Merlin HM2 ZH841 also on the ramp.

Re: Rhod Gilbert flies with IV squadron! 08/10/14

Can't promise it works with everybody but go to here http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/live/bbcone and scroll to the bottom and where it says "Change location" change it to Wales - Rhod Gilbert comes up in the TV listings then so should hopefully work...
