As usual - nothing on ads-b.
Any offers? Thanks, Rob
Noted on FB's Shoreham Airport site as 'Jackal 17'.

Re: Req: Army Dauphin 14.11.24 @ 13:18

Both ZJ783 and ZJ785 returned home from Woodvale yesterday afternoon. P. 100arw, yes I saw that - unfortunately I only spotted it when it was already South abeam so didn't see if it crossed MAN's approach. My first distant frame was at 13:17 so it was probably a bit early to tie with Yorker's post....

Re: Herc's at CBG September 2024

Stopped briefly around 6pm 18th Sept and noticed one (presumed ex RAF Herc) tail on had the grey rudder, but also a 2/3rds grey fin with a large white '56' painted on it. Can't see it noted in the excellent logs above so any offers on it's I/D? MTIA, Rob

26.06.24 Req. Ex 32Sqn BAE125

Noted outside the East end Hangar, appeared to be without it's tailplane/rudder and at least it's starboard engine. Possibly on a trailer but hard to see as between buildings/bunds and the heat haze was diabolical. MTIA, Rob

60-0012 has engine(s) running - maybe just a test as no box to listen in.
Anyone got comms?

Request: Voyager(s) Sunday 03/03/24

Anyone have the I/D of the Voyager parked out at the West end of the main apron pm. Chocked with what looked like various tapes and primed areas.
There was an A330 white bird on the Terminal too. Heat haze too bad to read either. MTIA, Rob
