If your Tucano was flying it will have been ZF511 as '510 is currently u/s but undergoing ground trials; '511 flew twice.

QQ101 flew at around 1400, G-BVRJ was probably parked outside.

Your A109 will have been QQ100 as ZE416 is currently on depth maintenance. EDIT - Both flying week beginning 13/10/14.

The VAAC Harrier was out and about on Wednesday so it could well have been - well caught.

Seems like you caught all three flyers on Wednesday from what was already a very small flying programme without cancellations due to weather :) .

I'm afraid not. If I see it, I'll let you know, providing it hasn't left of course.

Any ideas what the Voyager is? It seemed to taxi at about 1200L,

Can confirm VAAC Harrier XW175 did see some sun light yesterday. Don't get your hopes up though.

Just to update that ZE416 was flying today as Tester 09 and flew a couple of PARs at Yeovilton.

My fault and you are correct. Both QQ100 and ZE416 have been flying this week.
