Leonardo (Yeovil Westland) Sightings 2024

[Malcolm]

Hi,

Reported on 02Jun was….
Lynx MK95A 19201 Portuguese Navy on upgrade

Have any of you locals seen this again since? Hoping to catch this before it upgrade complete. Not seen it plot at all, so presume had no flights.

Any info on it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Andy

I've not physically seen it, but there was a plot for "ZH580" a week or two back, which is it's old UK serial. So if you're looking for it on ADSB you need to also check for UK serials.

Flying today at 1300 Lynx 43C8FB WHE05.

That would match the allocation for ZH580.

Haven’t seen any more plots for ZH580/43C8FB, has it been seen outside at all since? Thanks

12:23L [E48C70] "N4012" Showing on my ADSB receiver. (I'm not at home)

The "N4012" is in the callsign field, not the 'looked up' serial, so is probably more likely to be correct. If it is correct, then it's a Brazilian Lynx - wasn't aware there were any here.

Malcolm thanks for the lynx Info. Has it been noted flying or outside yet please?

Possibly as many as three? ZH967, 970 and 972 (N4012). ZH970 was delivered in 20.2.20 as N4009.
