Despite my earlier post, it could not have been AB on the ship as it left VL late yesterday afternoon heading south west using a Navy760 call sign so going overseas

On local tv tonight they said that there were 5 helicopters from Yeovilton onboard, there was a Merlin HC3A filmed on the hangar deck, it had a Union flag on the side which ZJ992/AB had when it left on the Ocean for the Med.

Thanks for the update, so I wonder what the ninth one is then?

From the published pictures there are 2 X Wildcats of 847NAS, 2 X Merlin HM2, 2 X Merlin HC3(one reported as ZJ126/K), 2 X Chinook(one reported as ZA682), on radio this morning the Captain of HMS Ocean said he had 9 helicopters onboard When Ocean left for the Med originally it had Merlin HC3A ZJ992/...

Both ZJ199 and ZJ213 visited VL for fuel at lunchtime prior to heading SW

I stopped going to YV show just for these sort of reasons . I started going on the Friday but the rules for entry were changed so that we were treated like the great unwanted by the RN/FAA . I tried staying outside of the base but that has been made difficult by the small minded jobs worth of RN/FA...

Thursday 27th April March 2017 Out on a chilly but sunny ramp at 08:45 were: Nothing. Been very quiet recently. However, in the wash-rack was a fully painted rotor-less Norwegian Merlin with its Norwegian serial uncovered. Unfortunatley, I couldn't read it due to angle, terrain and heat-waves. Didn...
