Is it safe to assume ZJ118/B is now in the shop for conversion?

ZJ118 was seen still in squadron service at Yeovilton late last month (26th November), may have subsequently been roaded across to WHL.

Why would it have been roaded to Yeovil?

Outside at 1000 this morning, ZJ128/M - Merlin HC4(latest conversion) and Wildcat AH1 ZZ392

BobT

The CSAR is ZR358/15-07, was there when it was towed out, no idea as to the Norwegian, was being washed earlier, could be ZZ105 prior to delivery?

ZJ131/P - 845NAS

Currently at South Dispersal are Ospreys, 11-0057 and 11-0058

Noted departing Yeovilton in a monsoon like cloud burst at circa 09:10 this morning was a light grey NH90. Overflew the A37 westbound, so presumably en-route to Culdrose. PP says (N-317) [48104E] "NEPTUNE13" NH-90 Cheers Malcolm Apparently operating off the RNLMS Evertson out of Devonport BobT

Noted outside at 1000 this morning - ZJ125/J - Merlin HC4 and ZZ388 - Wildcat AH1 (minus main rotors)

On the flightline this morning was ZZ549 - Wildcat Mk220 for the Philippine Navy, good start to the month

Anybody have any ID on the pair of Typhoons at high level making a lot of noise over Somerset this afternoon, seen when out walking in the Ilchester area Can't help with serials, but I think there was a practice QRA down here at about that time. A Cobham Falcon 20 showing as FRA99 on PP was messing...

Both just departed and heading for Prestwick

We have had 3 different airframes over Yeovilton today, in fact ZM413 has just gone over on its way back to Brize from circuit bashing at Newquay

The Tutors are G115E's and the Herons are G115D's, all replaced by the Tutors a long time ago and sold onto the civilian operators
