10-03-2023 hex 407ECB flying out of Yeovil, tracking sites giving I-PTFR (test registration)....has this been identified visually today ?

[eagle driver]

Polish3 Aw101 ZR287 /6203 has been reported outside this morning fully painted .
and was towed to the wash rack

To answer my own question, 407ECB is G-SHDF, an AW.139 c/n 32003 registered yesterday to Executive Jet Charter. Apologies for the civilian intrusion.

Flying this morning AW101-612 ZZ100 as WHE06.

[Professor_M]

Does anyone know the whereabouts of ZR339/CS-X81925 and AW101/G-17-510? Are they still at Yeovil, squirrelled away somewhere, or did they end up in Italy? Are they now retired from duties? It'd be interesting to know what's going on with them, if anyone knows and is willing to say.
