Wildcats and Apaches over Warrington 13.09

Post by Ronald Jeremy » Thu Sep 14, 2023 5:22 pm

Evening gents,

Yesterday afternoon circa 2.45pm a Wildcat in formation with two Apaches flew over Lowton near Warrington (the Wildcat was plotting on ADS-B as ZZ391) followed around 15 minutes later by a further Wildcat in formation with a solitary Apache (this Wildcat was showing as ZZ511 on ADS-B). None of the Apaches were plotting on ADS-B or any other tracking apps I have.

Can anyone put serials to the Apaches?

All five helicopters were heading southbound.

Morning gents,

For info the two Wildcats, ZZ391 and ZZ511 have just passed over Lowton heading north. No Apaches in tow this time.

10.00L Friday 2 Wildcats went up the M6 Pass. I think the Apaches, from ADS-B on Wednesday were Hunter 1 ZM710, Hunter 2 ZM701, Hunter 3 ZM716 & Hunter 4 ZM720. These were paired with Wildcats ZZ511 & ZZ391 as per your note. I'm guessing that ZM710 might be the one you didn't see as this showed on ADS on its own around Lancaster yesterday.
