Apparently this is actually XW231 with a mis-coded box showing as ZJ957! See FC UK Heads Up, Movements & OTT subforum.

Nice one.
ZM147 on at least 3rd visit (also on 24/1/19 + 31/7/19).
ZM144 should be a 1st visit.
Only one F-35 has done a pd to Warton so far!

Obviously pleased everyone OK. BAES Corporate have not had this "jungle jet" for that long either. For those that are interested G-OFLX reg derived from "GO FELIX" where "Felix" [the cat] is callsign used by BAES CAT (Corporate Air Transport).
