I haven’t seen any recent logs of ZR286. Does anyone know it’s whereabouts?
Hex code 43C927 briefly showed as ZR286 on ASD-B this pm. It appeared to be transmitting from within the Yeovil flight shed.

A bagged AW149/AW169 noted on a low loader with an Italian registered cab was noted near the gate/staff car park on Bunford Lane yesterday lunchtime. If I knew how I could post a photo - anyone point me towards how I would do this?

ZZ100 landed Yeovil 11:05, and may have overflown central Yeovil shortly after the 2 minuite silence.

Rob,
ZZ100 is Norwegian #1. It's been engaged in trials this last 7 years or so.

Out on the ramp at 08:45 was

ZH842 Merlin HM2

Looked very clean, so may have been in for a re-spray.

Cheers
