RN Merlin 18/2/13
Noticed a RN Merlin parked up at disforth whilst i was on my way up to the lakes this morning, any idea's why it was up here? Seamed a little strange seeing one so far up north.

Could well of been the the same one flying home, Does make a change from seeing RAF merlins all the time.

A RN Merlin 'Navy 266' transited via Shawbury up North last Friday and returned this Monday. SBS gave serial as ZH827/ZH840 !! Didn't see it at Dishforth on Saturday or Sunday morning.
Just had a quick re think and it dep Shawbury to Liverpool and returned from there on Monday, guess to the boat in the docks, so it may not have been your Merlin, sorry.

HMS Dauntless is visiting Newcastle this week, could it possibly be from her, if the merlins can land on them
Re: RN Merlin 18/2/13
Your Merlin was ZH839 (Navy 010) and was at Dishforth on an exercise, came through VL last week on the way up and returned to CU via VL as well.
