Noted outside between 14:00 and 16:30 on Tues 29/10/19 were;
ZH966 Brazilian Navy Lynx.
ZZ102 AW101 landed.
ZZ103 AW101 landed.
ZZ107 AW101.
Green AW149 (carrying 'AW149' markings on the nose - could anyone please confirm this is CSX81890?)
The three above Norwegians were all painted in the orange and white scheme.
A request is, the left hand side of the main hangar contained a primer AW101 with a red and blue tactical style flash on the tail but I didn't manage to read a serial, could anyone please confirm if this would have been ZZ100?
Thank you for any assistance with the queries and kind regards.

Thanks for the call this morning Merlin. Looks like I would have more luck at Yeovil than Mildenhall today! Freeman
It’s not what you look at that matters. It’s what you see.
Re: Yeovil(Westland) Sightings Autumn/Winter 2019/20
update on the reg I-AWCU
This in fact a AW189 was delivered with a white colour scheme so it would appear that it came in for a re-spray to the green scheme.

Re: Yeovil(Westland) Sightings Autumn/Winter 2019/20
Hi everyone, greetings from Portugal.
Has anyone ever spotted any of the 3 Portuguese Navy Super Lynx Mk.95 that are at Leonardo's facility being upgraded to Mk.95A? It has been almost two and a half years since the first airframes were sent to Yeovil, and we here in Portugal haven't heard anything about them ever since. It seems an awful lot of time for an upgrade, as extensive as it might be. Could please someone help me with some information and/or pictures, if there is any?
Thank you very much in advance, guys.

19202, 19204 and 19205 were seen ‘inside’ in July (not by me) so perhaps it’s a long slow process.

Hi Mark!
Thank you, I appreciate the info. At least now we know for sure they're there, even if the upgrade is progressing slowly.
Cheers!
