Machete 1 & 2: 25th March 2021

Post by 67ARRS » Fri Mar 26, 2021 9:22 am

Had Machete 1 & 2 overfly me in Chelmsford enroute to Wattisham yesterday, 25th March 2021. Can anyone provide the serials?

According to ADS-B, Machete 1 was ZJ217. Can't help with the other one I'm afraid, although Machete 1 (Flight of two, so presumably Machete 2) went past me here in Basingstoke late afternoon, eastbound.

Serials for Apaches on all tracking sites are invariably wrong, they always require the Mark 1 eyeball treatment!

SBS and ADSB were showing ZJ217 as Machete 1 and ZJ219 as Machete 2 - the later is no longer in service i believe
