Wildcat ZZ511 VALENT61 looks to be out of Yeovil this morning and is eastbound just going OTT Duxford .
Wasn't on the ramp at 08:45, and there were no Lynx/Wildcat power carts out either which is a good indication of no Lynx/Wildcat movements in the near future. With that callsign much more likely to be working out of Yeovilton.

Only thing out at 08:45 was Merlin (ZZ105)/0273. Wash rack was still up though, so maybe something else for the shower later on.

With a callsign like VALENT61 I would think that ZZ511 came out of Yeovilton not Yeovil?

I've just had a message to say that ZZ105, 0275 and ZR358 are all now outside at Yeovil.

Thanks Bob - I hadn't been following the Talon Python thread. Never mind, it was good to see the RNHF Chippie flying yesterday!

Friday 7th December 2018
Out on another properly foul, windy and wet ramp at 08:45 this morning was :

(ZR358/15-07) Merlin Caesar HH101

Couldn't actually read it off, but if they crash it before I can finally get to read it off I'm 'avin' it. :whistle:

They were also towing a Coastguard 139/159/189/whatever into the main hangars.

Cheers
