Yeovil (Westlands) Sightings Summer/Autumn 2017
Re: Yeovil (Westlands) Sightings Summer 2017
Friday 22nd Sept 2017
Towed out of the hangars at a sunny but chilly and overcast ramp at 08:45 was:
ZZ102 Merlin for Norway - fully painted, no rotors and engine exhausts taped over. Suspect this was the one in the wash rack earlier this week.
Cheers

Flying at approx 1700L, WHE03 mode S code E483D1, I think this is the Brazilian Lynx. No registration/serial showing on RadarBox.
