Couldn't it have flown back under it's own power from Norway to the UK. Is done before. Had it some issues? Or just training transporting by air? It flew out there by itself, probably a happy medium of good training for the RAF/loadmasters/ground crew and a saving of aircraft hours for the Navy. Th...

ZJ132 Merlin HC.4 flew yesterday (19th) afternoon as Westland03, this is the last HC.4 conversion

ZZ100 also flew

Jungly is used by 845 NAS, 846 use Comm...

Does anyone have the callsigns used by the 4 Junos please?

ZM512, 515 and 518 all arrived as SYS31 Flight, 512 used SYS31 to depart and arrive back then they all departed as SYS31 Flight
ZM513 arrived as SYS88

Thank you!

F16 is displaying at 1605L - not as printed in the programme

Social media post from Historic Helicopters suggested the Lynx and Wessex are joining the announced Whirlwind and Sea King.

Sea King and Lynx en route tracking out of the SW, Whirlwind and Wessex are with them

Social media posts also suggests an RAF Hercules landed for static display?

It would appear the BB coded U-2s at Fairford are the ones arriving from the US on rotation, they then have their BB removed / painted over. I’ve never photographed a mission fit U-2 at Fairford with the a tail code.

Merlin MK4A ZJ998 is also flying from Leonardos as recently as 8th December

Yes, it is feeding correctly although I believe Flightradar still has it as a HC.3A.

It is now a Merlin HC.4A, coded AF and was calling Commando57 which means it is with 846NAS. No idea where it had been but at a guess, probably Holbeach
