How can the serials be confirmed if they're all from ADS-B?

[ArabJazzie]

To be fair Mike, i read that differently to you as 7 arrived out of the 8 due with a list of serials taken from ADSB.

I can confirm valiant 61/62 as correct both did a single approach at DSA on the way up to Leeming.

[SamP]

Looking at images of their arrival posted on FB, all the above serials are correct.

[Rhubarb]

I can confirm with Mk1 eye ball that two different looking Lynx helis were in Doncaster class D air space over the racecourse at around 1000ft.

FergiZA600 see photo section re valiants at DSA it was definatly 390 & 395 that did the approach on monday. Mick

[FergiZA600]

Sorry put the wrong reg down, for some reason I had 385 wrote down twice when it should have been 395. Thanks for the correction tho

Thinking of stopping at Leeming tomorrow, are the wildcats visable from the spotters compound or are they in the Has site?
