Presumably, 0279 was delivered to Norway?
I'm seeing 47812C on ADSBx, Stavanger area, earliest 2020-08-26.

I don't think 0279 has even made its first flight yet!
Re: Yeovil (Westland) Sightings Summer 2020
OK thanks.
47812C must be 0278, then. I hadn't noticed that one!

Re: Yeovil (Westland) Sightings Summer 2020
Correct Andy, 0279 hasn’t flown yet. It’s done a couple of ground runs so far but that’s it. It must be well behind schedule now.

I've heard a rumour (single source not sure how reliable) that the original contracted delivery end date (Dec 2020) has been pushed back until late 2022 or early 2023. That might explain the slow down for work on ZZ110 after the apparent rush to get ZZ107, ZZ108 and ZZ109 shipped out. If true, that's one aircraft every 5-6 months to complete the order. ZZ100 and ZZ110-ZZ115 still to be delivered.
Re: Yeovil (Westland) Sightings Summer 2020
ZZ102 0265 was originally delivered 19.01.18. It returned to Yeovil 11.04.19 as NORW5001. I think it is still here?? I have not recorded a redelivery.Malcolm wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 2:04 pmI've heard a rumour (single source not sure how reliable) that the original contracted delivery end date (Dec 2020) has been pushed back until late 2022 or early 2023.
