Lee on Solent - Stored ex AAC Defenders

[Professor_M]

I haven't seen the one one the other side quoted as ZG997?

It was reported on MSF as ZH004 and should be easily identified as its a different version and does not, as far as I am aware, have the RWR suite scabbed on. Or a FLIR turret?

ZH004 is a T3, unlike the others in AAC service which were R2. Hence, ZH004 can be identified by the different nose and the lack of some housings towards the rear of the sides of the fuselage (can be seen under the ZH page at http://www.ukserials.com).

Thanks acsmith117, I obviously mis-read something then. ZH004 makes absolute sense for the reason you state.

exactly - similar to scoping out an airfield without being spoon fed GPS co-ordinates - part of the fun

If it helps ZH002 has 2 showing on the nose and ZH003 has most of the 3 showing on the nose if the noses are visible and they haven't been repainted since June.

Merry Xmas,
