Culdrose Visitors - Oct

[buzzer]

a Merlin came in on 12 at about 15:15.. guessing this was your above Merlin dave? popping from the floating callsign on the daily mail run??
EDIT: yeap it was.. landed, unloaded it passengers(all wearing the nice orange immersion suits ) and took of not long after!
Thanks to MALF for the info..
Any news on the whereabouts of the Apache Phil/dave??

i tried to mlat it and it came back as just south of Culdrose however there were only a low number of hits so not too sure on the accuracy of this?! Currently got good coms 2 way on 247.700 with Tiger 2 doing ship to ship transfers

Hi Dave I'm a7, based in Penryn i have the SBS1 box currently switching between the supplied antenna sitting on a window ledge and a D777 up on the chimney! hoping to get a proper 1090 antenna at some point soon though! i can get stuff going into culdrose down to about 700ft before i loose it!

Cheers for the info Dave, I'm still learning to to drive all the bits n Bob's that go with it! ill have a play in the week with moving the
Locations around and hopefully get one of them radar rama antennas in the near future and get that up on the chimney if not just to wind the Mrs up by putting more bits up there be a bonus to up my range!

As of 18:30 this evening;
Both Chinooks gone, presumed returned to Odiham.
3 Lynxes parked-up.(no ID - too murky)

[Malfatron Malkovic]

Well done, Mr.T! Thank you very much!

[buzzer]

out from a ship to pick up a pint of milk more than likely dave

Nothing else recorded for this evening? I only ask because i am sure i heard the distinctive chop-chopping of a Chinook dropping in - around 18:50. Walking through an avenue of trees at the time, so couldn't spot a thing.

And anything yesterday evening (Mon 15.10)? I ask because at 9.15pm I was near the harbour at Porthleven when a jet came in from over the sea and turned as if to join runway 12 - an unusual approach. Only clues, 2 red starboard lights and sounding more like a Falcon 20 than a hawk.

[Malfatron Malkovic]

Yep, i also heard and saw it, also assumed it to be a Falcon 20.

[Malfatron Malkovic]

Nice one, Dave. Thank's - once again!
The Falcon 20 flew direct over my garden, so, as Bertieb says, an unusual approach to 12.

Today at 1330L I heard a helo wok-woking over Plymouth. I expected to see a Chinook, but was surprised when a AAC Bell 212 appeared transitting from the SW to NE at 1500ft approx. Whether this came from CU after a night-stop I don't know, just a thought as to what you heard
If not, if anybody has any info. on this it would be appreciated.

Hi Dave,
Very useful information for anyone thinking of purchasing such equipment in the future. Thank you for that (I realise that you are answering another member's query!!)
