ZZ112 on the ramp at 09:00 this morning with a Houchin next to it. Suspect it'll fly later - probably not on delivery today but perhaps befor the end of the month?

Tuesday 3rd August

Norwegian Merlin ZZ112 was seen with rotors running this afternoon (engine testing?).

[globie60006]

Anyone any idea of the Norwegian Aw101 engine running this afternoon please?

Can't see from here (15 miles to the north), but [43C7E7] "WHE02" SQ4362 is pinging on the deck there at the moment (15:29L), which should make it ZZ112.

[Andy Marden]

ZZ112 is outside as of 1550

[globie60006]

OK thanks very much. I waited for 2 hours for it to t/o but it eventually shut down about 1530 ish. Did get a rear view picture but can't quite identify it on my camera. Maybe on the PC.
CHEERS. May go again tomorrow - on holiday from the East of England.
Paul.

[Freeman Lowell]

Paul,
If you're looking for confirmation, go onto .ukserials. and compare the masking of the Norwegian serial, on the tail boom, with the photos Phil has lodged there. All will become clear .

[Andy Marden]

Believe me, I was there at the same time as Paul.
I personally read it as ZZ112, and it had the individual digits blanked.

[globie60006]

Ah thanks Andy. Yes just checked UK Serials and definitely ZZ112 isaw then. PS. Where were you - didn't see you there?

[globie60006]

ZZ112 showing on ADSB this morning heading north from Yeovil. Seems to have disappeared now. Hoping it might return to Yeovil soon before setting off for home.

[Andy Marden]

I walked past you with Mrs M when you were standing at the fence.

Primer AW101 on the ramp at 14;:30. Can anyone confirm it was ZR285
Edit - confirmed it is ZR285

[globie60006]

Sorry Andy - I cant believe I didn't recognised you when I was standing by the fence at Yeovil.

[Giubo]

Test flight for ZR285 right now? (43C926)

[Seacat192]

ZR285 passed over Ilminster earlier. Can anyone confirm the eventual operator of this airframe please?
