ZH867, 869 and/or 870?

Post by llamafish » Thu Feb 04, 2016 6:21 pm

Hi All,

Can anyone help with the Hercs I saw over Northampton today please? Both heading to Brize. The first was at 15:06, the second was much higher at 15:30.

BZZspotters has ZH867 arriving at '15:??', Gary posted that Brassneck 1 and 2 were heading through the Daventry at 15:36, and were ZH869 and ZH870. Is anyone able to confirm which I saw please?

These, plus a very low Puma, plus an A400 (first time I've seen one), made for an eventful afternoon!

Dan,

ZH867/"RRR5823" came in from France, so it is very unlikely that it would have strayed up to Northampton. So you would have seen the two "BRASSNECKS" ZH869/870.

A400 ZM405/"RRR4021" returned from Coningsby late afternoon.

HTH,

Bob
