16:52L - ZJ957/Ambush02 (Puma HC.2/RAF) tracking Manchester>Horwich then west towards Altcar/Woodvale
Apparently this is actually XW231 with a mis-coded box showing as ZJ957! See FC UK Heads Up, Movements & OTT subforum.

ZK350 (BS111) showing on adsb hexcode 43C70C. After T/o rwy 07 climbed to FL400 to NW for a high speed run as per PFAT1 (but not in this case of course as PFAT1 was Mon 8/7/13 flown by WTN05 1435-1530L (jet already painted); PFAT2 Fri 12/7/13 WTN69 1501-1605z; PFAT3 Weds 17/7/13 WTN69 1213-1332L with BT17 as target and "off test"; handed over/accepted 10/10/13 but loaned back to BAES for ground trials). Recovered with low flyby from nth then extended out to east for long app 25 + t/go 1145z. Then another t/go @ 1147z after visual circuit and landed 25 @ 1149z, deploying brakechute (as per a PFAT1 schedule).

("Local area"...more Puma activity...
XW213 [43C28F] "AMBUSH01" on mode-S, more likely a Vortex callsign; departed Woodvale, SSE of Wigan @ 1050z (1300ft) hdg SE; following Manch LL corridor, passing Jn21A/M6 @ 1052z hdg sth;
ZJ955 [43C2AE] "SHF234"(Vortex234) on adsb had departed Woodvale and headed sth via Manch LL corridor; passing just west of Crewe @ 1417z (850ft) then headed SE (Tamworth area @ 1440z);
ZJ956 [43C2AF] "VORTX242" on adsb, also had departed Woodvale and headed sth; Nantwich area @ 1433L (925ft); then to SE (tracked just sth Holmes Chapel/nth of Sandbach @1439z).
All RTB Benson. This has muddied the waters further as suggests 4 different Pumas were operating from Woodvale..or more dodgy miscoded boxes!?!)

Anyone know what the two fast jets where over Preston heading north around 2.30 today.
Saw them from a distance,first though they might have been typhoons from Warton on a easterly take off with a lazy left turn onto north.
Now I’m not so sure with no mention of them on here.

Two Swiss F18’s from RAF Leeming went through the lakes low level around this time, could have passed over Preston en route?

Seen in circuit at Valley, did a few t/gs and departed back to Leeming @ 1126z. Coded "CM". Think it transitted back at FL200 but tracked over Merseyside/sth of Ribble. Callsign/serial all as per mode-S.
