I can correct your types. They are Beech 350s (NOT 200s)

Title changed

Thanks
Pete

To be precise the Beech 250 and 350 models are marketing names for model B200 and B300C respectively, they are registered as Hawker Beechcraft B200 and B300C models.

G-LBSB was transferred to UK military registry on 15th May 2018
G-DAYP & G-GMAD remain on the UK civil register
G-DAYM appears not to heave been registered as yet.

Hope this helps.

Guys

Over a year old
Have any of the G- Reg Aircraft gone full military markings
I will update the first entry

Thanks in advance
Pete

Only ZZ507 has re appeared so far, in the executive shadow scheme.

419 is in the Exec scheme also, and i believe is currently at Hawarden.

507, 416 and 418 are operating at Waddington at present. If you search the regs in heads up you should get a rough idea where the others are if you need .

Mike.

ZZ504 has just returned from Bournemouth, it's in the circuit at waddington.

Can't see it some unsure if grey or exec scheme, hopefully see it tomorrow....

My log at present is:

ZZ416 Active 27.5.20.
ZZ417 at Bournemouth.
ZZ418 Active 27.5.20.
ZZ419 to Hawarden 14.5.20.
ZZ504 from Bournemouth 28.5.20.
ZZ507 Active 28.5.20.

I have seen DAYP and GMAD at Waddington sometime ago but not DAYM.

Cant remember how long ago they left.

I can't find any info re DAYM/ZZ508, where is this info from?

Mike

Mike

Many thanks on the updates
As the Sentinel's had been reviewed,it was worth doing the Shadow's
Over a year ago G-DAYM/ZZ508 was around,I can't remember where the info came from

I will keep looking

Pete

Pete,

G-DAYM has never been issued by the CAA (see their G-INFO website) and ZZ508 is not listed on Wolverhampton Aviation Group's "ukserials.com" website, nor the ELAS "British Armed Services Review 2020" issued to all LAAS members. Seems to me therefore that it has never existed (at least, not yet).

Roger

ZZ508 has been referenced here: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/ ... clnk&gl=uk

Again noted as ZZ508/G-DAYM.

As for its accuracy...

I believe the fleet will eventually be 8 Shadows once the remaining two have been converted

Kevin

Thought the fleet had a new member when I spotted a B350 with large under belly pod working orbits over Grimsby at 17.30 on 26th May.
ADS-B soon identified it as Diamond Aviation's B350ER 2-WKTJ, it went rtb Gamston just after 18.00
Interestingly it has been employed off Libya

I suspect it won't happen

ZZ507 Active 28.5.20.

ZZ418 is here at Bournemouth, arrived 28th May and ZZ504 was the crew ferry (and is still grey!)

Executive markings so far are ZZ417 419 507

Think ZZ416 calling Snake 46 might have just had an issue, was with Touch for a T&G but didnt go.
Tower asked if there was an issue, didn't hear a response as they were using VHF, but heard later emergency vehicles were following.

Guys

I think it's time to review the fleet again.
With the Islander/Defender being retired and a story of 2 being based at Aldergrove.
Also stories of additional aircraft,another 4 aircraft
What is/will be the Shadow fleet,a mix of Military and Civil Aircraft

Thanks in advance
Pete

Pete,

This is my log of the current fleet:

ZZ416 R1 to Hawarden 10.6.21
ZZ417 R1+ (white) to Aldergrove 27.7.21
ZZ418 R1+ to Aldergrove 29.6.21 (returned from Hawarden 10/6 as an R1+, still grey)
ZZ419 R1+ (white) to Bournemouth 27.7.21
ZZ504 R1 active 29.7.21
ZZ507 R1+ (white) to Hawarden 18.6.21

These to be R2 standard:
