From memory it was on a more westerly spot in the pm to the am, so it may have flown lunch-timeish. Do you have a time, Giubo?
ZZ514 also flew this am and ZH843 flew late afternoon on ZH864's return.

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

RadarBox has no record of ZZ112 flying yesterday. I don't think it would have flown from a westerly spot.

ZZ112 was on the compass base early this morning (24th) before being towed to an easterly spot on the ramp.

Thanks Merlin. In addition to your list, Boscombe Down based H.125 G-ETPG made a low approach into the hover at the western end of the field at around 15.40, but only stayed a minute or two, without landing as far as I could see. I couldn't read the Wildcat on the Compass Base.
