Merlin HM.2 (AEW fit) ZH864 recently departed as WHE06. Wildcat HMA.2 ZZ378 on the flightline with power cart beside it so presumably will fly later.

Two EH-101s fully enclosed in white bags down at the western end by the rotor test rig. I was under the impression that the previous two bagged examples had been taken inside for RTP, so are these the two Saudi examples that were due to be roaded in from Poole Docks?

It’s not what you look at that matters. It’s what you see.
