RAF Merlin over Truro 15:15

Post by EGDR » Mon Jun 30, 2014 2:20 pm

Hi all,

Would anyone happen to have the ID of what appeared to be a Merlin HC.3 very low over Truro city centre at about 3:15pm?

Thanks in advance,
Kyle

Noted a Merlin low over Falmouth school area at 3:10, then saw it circling in the Tremough /Treluswell area before it headed off in a northerly direction. It was definitely a RAF type.

MALF noted ZJ120 outside depth today kyle.
And live log has mk3 ZJ117 up but it's callsign is listed as ZJ120. ??! So chances are ZJ120 was indeed up and about ;)
