Also noted on the 19th July, two RN Lynx in the same row as the three Sea Kings shown in the diagram.
XZ730,XZ693. I think you need to follow the fence around into the field to view these two.
One of the unmarked Sea Kings is the Egyptian Navy example.

Thanks for the Hercs Andy. Next time I'm in the area I'll go for a stroll around the fence Bobs but shouldn't there be two Egyptians and a HC4?
