Thanks Merlin131. I thought it might be that using 43C47E, this time around. Short FF though, wasn't it?

Tuesday 9th November:

Norwegian AW101 ZZ113 noted flying today as WHE01.

[Judwin71]

0945 AW189 I-RAIU flying as WHE01

[Cygnus237]

Norwegian AW101 ZZ113 noted flying today as WHE01.

WHE01 came over yesterday at 13:49z and it was pinging 43C7E8.

Is it safe to assume that that hex is assigned to ZZ113? Thanks in advance for any info provided.

Seen between 1130 and 1445 today (11th November) were:

I-RAIU AW189
ZH584 Lynx
ZZ113 AW101 flew PM
ZZ378 AW159
ZZ513 AW159

A painted Polish AW101 was seen inside that hangar but not read off or countable in my opinion.
