2 Lynx

Post by d555 » Thu May 22, 2014 8:19 pm

I caught these 2 Lynx in Plymouth Sound today.
I'm hoping the FGN is 83+24 which visited CU yesterday, but I didn't have any binoculars on me to read it.

A bit of a dodgy shot I'm afraid.It's been quite heavily cropped.

P.S. There was also an RN Lynx on the back of HMS Dauntless just out of shot.

Evening Mike

I think it's a good chance that the German lynx is the same one that went down to Culdrose, all the flying of a German lynx has been since Luebeck arrived. The Portuguese lynx is 19204, a friend got a pic the other day and I managed to work out which one it was.

My friend rang me the other day from inside the yard the other standing next to Dauntless while the Lynx was on deck, but for the life of me I can't remember which one is was

Hope this could be of some help Mike

Thanks for the info Allen.
I managed to get the Portuguese last week and the HMA.8 should be ZD566/DN455, but I've still not been able to confirm this.
I see that the FGS Luebeck is coming into Devonport tomorrow.Let's hope the Lynx is on the flightdeck.

After unseen issues, I couldn't get up to the Sound to get some shots of FGS Luebeck coming in, but I did look out my parents house window where I can see the sound and she did have it out on deck as she was heading into Devonport today, did you have any luck today Mike

Thanks for the help with the RN Lynx guys. Looks like ZF562 is the winning number :thumb: (still haven't been able to confirm though).

Hi Allen.
I managed to get down to Devil's Point in time to catch the FGS Luebeck coming in to Devonport. She had her Lynx on the flightdeck, confirm as 83+24.
