Re: Wattisham - 24/04/2024

All went to Gilze-Rijen (NL), then onwards to Schleswig-Jagel (D), Aalborg (DAN) and further onto Finland. I presume Utti but am not sure about that.
The Wildcats are part of 1 Rgt and the Chinooks of 18 (B) sq I understand. How about the AH-64E's, are they a mixture from different squadrons probably?

Re: Lee on Solent - Stored ex AAC Defenders

Nobody for the eight Defenders that were outside around RIAT (apart from the ASTOR)?
Here's hoping....

Re: Yeovil (Westlands) Sightings Summer 2017

OK, thanks! And any sightings of the Nigerian or other primer AW.101 would be very interesting of course.

Re: LOG + REQ Boscombe Down 18/7

Nice catch, that ZJ133. One of three HC.3s I still need, all of them being stored at Boscombe.... (ZJ117, ZJ133 and the remains of ZJ138).

Re: Yeovil (Westlands) Sightings Summer 2017

Hi all,

Is ZZ103 still in primer I presume? On July 13th we had ZJ127, ZZ399, AW101 and ZZ415 outside, and as the doors of the first hangars were wide open we could see two primer Merlins. Possibly ZZ100 (which we saw last year, and is still in primer as I understand) and hopefully ZZ103?

Re: Dutch spotter arrested pre childrens day Thailand

I don't know about the photography ban, if true that's a shame. But I DO know that no Dutch spotter was arrested! Please stop spreading rumours. I know the person involved, and there was no arrest at all. There was permission to have a look around, just like our group at the spot obtained permission...
