Noted elsewhere that D-603 was hangared after arrival at Carlisle, has it appeared back outside this weekend? Thanks.

Sounds like its been in and out of the hangar since arriving as it was seen outside late on Thursday evening, looked to be locked up and was still outside at 11pm.

I called in yesterday and the choppers are all easily seen and photographed through the crash-gate besides the new terminal building , signed access is via the A689 .
You can also see them from the 'old' control tower at the north end of the airfield were the Solway Aviation Museum is also worth a visit !

Oh dear - didn’t realise that was a possibility - I did all my viewing from the roads around the airfield.
Good info for next time!

Oh , b****r ! You can park outside the new terminal building which is just beyond the Stobart warehouse or park up near the Vulcan and view from a distance but from tomorrow the choppers will probably be dispersed out on the airfield again and operate from the NW corner near the transport company ECM .
