The third is in, it came with ZA714 saw the pair heading over Maghull, followed by ZH985 a while later. No I.D on the second but hoping to get down there tomorrow.

The first two arrived as Kukri from Swynnerton Barracks in Staffordshire, both with 12 POB. ZA714 was showing on adsb but the second had an incorrect Hex and couldn't decide whether it was ZK565 or ZA710 (or something else). They were definately a pair as they went low level near Cosford but I can't read the serials from my photos.
Vortex 262 was ZH895 and called into Shawbury on the way up. Reported as 6POB.

Definitely not ZK565 for the 3rd one as that serial doesn't exist! Would be interested to find out if it's actually ZA710.

Thats a good point, I never looked it up, just noted what was showing on adsb!
ZA710 is reported on other sites but I haven't seen any photos to confirm it.

ZH900 [43C5F7] 27 Sqn (not with 28 Sqn) departed Woodvale @ 1430L heading east initially. Returned to Odiham (arr 1729L), not Benson where 28 are based. So not staying for this Ex by looks of it.
