Thanks for this merlin. I don't suppose you (or anyone else for that matter!) know which HH-101 it was that I saw earlier?
I returned for another quick look at around 13.45, just as the Wildcat departed, but by then there was only the Merlin HM.2 left on the flight line.

Interesting. The only time that I've been in an aircraft that landed at Westland's Yeovil airfield was during the 1960s - I was passenger in Tiger Moth G-APRX. After arrival we climbed over a fence or gate and had a lift to the RNAS Yeovilton Air Day (or whatever they were called then). Great days!
