Hi. A Puma flew west to east over Welwyn yesterday evening at approx 7.15pm. Any help with the serial would be great. Mel.

If you use ADSB Exchange Replay, it comes up as XW199/A, over Welwyn about 7:35pm (BST).

Whether you believe military identities on ADSB is up to you, although Pumas have proven pretty reliable over the years.

Hi Roger. Thanks for that. I didn’t have my phone with me and I haven’t got replay so that’s a real help. Mel

ADSB Exchange Replay isn't an app that needs downloading - it's an open website.

XW199 was read at Luton, it diverted there due to an issue :thumb: .
