Wednesday 10th March
A day at home today, and visible from the stormy, windy and wet bedroom window have been :
ZZ110 Merlin Mk612 for Norway. Was out until about 10:30am and then put away.
ZH833 Merlin AEW flew at about 11am
ZH864 Merlin AEW flew early pm.
Portugese Lynx [497CC0] with "ZH584" in the callsign field has been pinging most nights recently between 7 and 8pm. I don't think it's actually left the hangar, but someone is turning the ignition on.
And for the deviants among us, [407B17] is currently (17:24Z) pinging as "WHE03". Can hear it running but can't see it.
Cheers
Malcolm

Hi Somerset,
entering 407B17 into the CAA G-INFO search engine gives the A.109 G-EDWA that 100ARW mentions above.
