Re: Yeovil (Westland) Sightings Summer 2020
I paid a quick visit this morning. Nothing identified. Just a RN Merlin sitting outside the hangars plus two Merlin fuselages wrapped in white plastic near the iAero Centre. If anyone can help with identities I would be most grateful.

It’s not what you look at that matters. It’s what you see.
Re: Yeovil (Westland) Sightings Summer 2020
Both placed in the hangar around 12:45 0280 first, followed by ZZ110.
