Seen a military aircraft recently but NOT at one of the bases or airfields listed below? Maybe it flew over the top of you today? Need to tie up the serial? Ask in here. Requests less than 6 months old only please.

Apaches at Sennybridge

Post by Blackcat1 » Wed Mar 05, 2025 7:39 pm

Evening all

Bit of a long shot but can anyone tie up serials or callsigns of 2 Apaches seen this afternoon around LFA7 & Sennybridge please?

Thanks

ZM705 and ZM729 were operating as Gunship 1 and 3 and went through the Usk Valley at 1500 approx. Looks like they came from Gloucester and ended up at Sleap

Thank you Alex. Only 2 seen at SENTA yesterday afternoon. Although we were having refreshments at the Castle Coaching Inn when they went over taking the roof off!! There could have been a third as 1 came back over a couple of minutes later heading east, so could have been the third

The 3rd one was about 30min behind when it passed me halfway up Table Mountain, I climbed up hoping for a landlocked photo only for it go straight over the top of me frustratingly

I had one photo between 2 trees, so tree locked 😂

Oh yeah I missed that there was a third behind as #2 wasn't pinging very much - looks like all 3 were on SENTA together in the end for a little bit, but #3 did loiter and follow on 30 mins behind once again to Sleap. Unsure what the easterly heading one was
