Finally some Wattisham activity!

Post by gary1701 » Wed Jun 14, 2023 8:11 pm

Gents,

The summer evening season at Wattisham has been a slow burner so far this year. Finally some decent light into the evenings has coincided with most of the Apaches away so the last couple of weeks have been rather frustrating. I caught 'Award 070' showing as AA311 on ADS-B this evening with some nice light. ZM726 was also the same bird I photographed about a month ago with a couple of wingovers over the field. That's been it. I notice he's gone out again since I got home so it must be the best working AH-64E at the moment!

Hi Gary.

It's been so quiet. Last night however they were night flying. There seem to be some based at Balado airfield south of Perth, Scotland.

Thanks guys, here's 'Juggernaut' section of three landing a little while ago this evening after returning from Scotland.

Turning for 23, still in the cloud that had covered Wattisham for the last hour at this point.

Then sunshine!

No 3, always think Apaches look rather silly with nothing on the stub pylons.

Not bad when all I thought I was going to be able to do was confirm a few serials.
