Tom_J at Yeovil (Dec '19)
Whilst working from home (I can't recall the last time I visited from a laptop!), I thought I'd share a couple of images from a busy Yeovil in December.
It was quite a good day, apparently the Italian HH-101As are suffering from heat issues with the black cabs, so they'll all go this colour - and I was chuffed to bits to practically have the Wildcat trialling a full load of 20(!) Martlet missiles.

As a side note, I love the WWII throwback (intentional or not) of a Wildcat operating with "Martlets".

ZZ103 was the very first Noggie Merlin delivered (which I saw at Yeovil on its delivery flight in November '17), that rolled over two weeks later - good to see it back up and running!

It was also cool to see ZZ100 come back after a jaunt to Europe (this seems to regularly fly to Italy for testing) - it's the first Norwegian AW101 built, in 2016, but has remained in primer since then.

I've seen several reports that Bunford Lane is now a bit of a write-off due to development works there, but I was getting frustrated at the angles from the footpath, and the light was swinging around, so I took a chance and boy did it pay off!

As always - thanks for looking - it's been quite some time since I've uploaded an image thread due to Flickr dickry.
C&C welcomed as always.
Cheers,
Tom

Great recap!
Lovely to see the colour cabs, and the Wildcat fully loaded is a new one for me too.
