UAE Agusta AW139 reg DU-142 spotted in the vicinity of Inverness on ADSB around 16:30 today. Ahead of it was an IOM registered chopper. I didnt note either callsign.

Both tracking across to the Loch Duich area?

The two others choppers were calling “Osprey” and then a variety of two digit numbers which changed after each trip out to the west and back. Think I heard ‘55’ , ‘57’ , ‘64’ and ‘66’ in the time I was there shooting the 737s

[Mike]

'Osprey' is the callsign prefix that PDG Helicopters use, they are based in the industrial estate next to the airport.

No, it was on the deck for around 30 minutes.
