Hi,
Can anyone please help identify a Puma that flew over Grantham at 12.10 hours today and made one landing at the Kings school playing field and then flew off in a north easterly direction possibly towrds Waddington.

Regards

I spotted a Vortex callsign on ADS-B Exchange showing as an unknown aircraft type, I didn't pay any more attention to it than that though!

It may have been the miscoded Puma that's been around recently?

Hi

A single Puma passed NE over Peterborough at 11:48.

Not sure if this was your Puma, but if it helps it was on FR24 as SHF347 and the HEX was given on ADS-B as 13C287

Cheers

That's the mis-coded one (which I think is XW204), all UK mil Hex codes should start with '43C', and not '13C'.
