Yeovil (Westlands) Sightings Summer 2019
Re: Yeovil (Westlands) Sightings Summer 2019
ZR359 / 15-10 should be the one to deliver.
ZR360 has already flown so it’s interesting that it has no blades!

Mark

Wednesday 24th July 1000hrs
ZZ409 Wildcat AH1. Flight line. Later re-hangared after attempted engine runs.
ZH831 Merlin HM2(ASaC). Flight line. Later re-hangared.
ZR360 15-11 HH-101A. Towed from 'wash rack' and parked in front of flight hangar. MM serial covered.
A further Wildcat was towed to the compass swing.
A return visit at 1115hrs gave :-
0276 Merlin 612. Towed to 'wash rack'. Couldn't see if the UK serial (ZZ107) had been applied yet.
A further Merlin 612, with Norwegian serials covered, was on the flight line. Heat-haze defeated attempts to positively id the black UK serial.

Re: Yeovil (Westlands) Sightings Summer 2019
Apparently not. It has been seen this morning with an Italian crew and full Italian markings but broke so went back into the hangar.

ZZ103 seen at Culdrose yesterday round lunchtime, doing a local sortie in the afternoon and being prepared to be town into the hangar nearest to the viewing area (which was wide open 2 mins after its arrival, didn't wait for the actual tow...).
Seen there again today and later on flying westbound along the coast from Falmouth.
Seems safe to assume it's doing testing from Culdrose...Norwegian roundel applied, serial taped over.

Out on a sunny but breezy with just a hint of an autumn chill in the air ramp this morning were...
ZH831 Merlin HM2 ASAC
ZZ103 Merlin For Norway
0276 Merlin for Norway
0276 (ex ZZ107) has the Norwegian serial uncovered, and no UK serial on the rear fuse, so I suspect it'll be delivered today. Ergo Heads up Newcastle/Humberside/Somewhere north of the A303
