Merlins

Post by buzzard15 » Mon Apr 30, 2018 2:00 pm

Hi
Can anybody out there identify the Merlin's heading towards Shawbury from Bayston Hill direction on Thursday 19th April 2018. It may have been just one doing approaches.
Many thanks

There were three Merlins DOLPHIN 11,12,13 heading up for Joint Warrior, they stopped there for re-fuelling. They re-routed through Shawbury instead of Valley due to a fog bank out to sea north of Holyhead.
If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

Many thanks Red Dragon. Obviously I did see all three then. I wasn't sure as they were just too far away to tell.
