Yeovil (Westland) Sightings Autumn/Winter 2020/21

[Freeman Lowell]

Tuesday 9th February 2021
An aircraft transmitting hex code 497CC0 was airborne on VR from Yeovil for a brief period before midday.
The ADS-B database interpreted that as ZH584, which would make it the second Portuguese Super Lynx to fly following upgrading.

I agree RadarBox shows ZZ110 up at 1145 down at 1155 just one circuit. It flew again later in the afternoon.

ZH584 showing as up on ADS-B this evening. No call sign - HEX as reported by Freeman.

ZH583 flew just after lunch - 13:30 ish. Photo proof. It's got some cables gaffa taped all the way from the tail rotor gearbox area to the cockpit door on the starboard side. The tape is silver/white and the cables are dark/black so it looks like zebra pin striping. I did see the one this evening, but was on the phone so couldn't read it off.

Couple of bagger Merlins also flew today - ZH864 and one other - probably ZH833 but again didn't read it off.

From memory, about the time of the Mars landing last night, ZH584 was showing a callsign of K1PPERTD. Perhaps the work isn't going too well and the engineers are having to work late?
