According to ADS-B ZM340 [VYT98] arrived Benson circa 1257L departing at 1547L

The Texan ZM 340 showed as VYT 98 but the actual callsign is Anglesey 98, The Hawks use VYT as a singleton, the Texans use Anglesey as a singleton

Hi All
Seen over Wolverhampton this afternoon, 2X Pumas, Ambush 1 & 2, it appears Ambush 1 may well be ZJ956, is anybody able to identify the 2nd Puma please?

XW 231 Ambush 2

While out walking earlier today, an RAF Puma was circling over Errwood Reservoir at Goyt Valley, on the Cheshire/Derbyshire border at around 1pm to 1:30pm. Does anyone have any more info, eg serial, unit, what it was doing up here? Possibly Voodoo 1 or 2 Voodoo 1 XW 209, and Voodoo 2 XW 220, went i...

A321 HI A321, I agree with you, they were bought to replace the Hawks at DERA/QINETIQ Llanbedr being used as Shepherd Aircraft as the Raf wanted the T1s back, the O/C at the time at Llanbedr was ex ...
