I arrived at Yeovil yesterday mid afternoon, 3rd August just as a fully painted Polish EH101 was being returned to the flight shed.

Can anyone tell me which example(s) were outside yesterday?

I noted ZR285 on ADS-B several times during the day and it was showing well to the north at the time of my visit, so it couldn't have been that one.

There was at least one more fully painted Polish example in the flight shed at the time.

From SBS/ ADSB it should be ZR288.

Busy day today. Among other things 2 EH101s WHE05 (ZR287) and WHE12 (ZR285) seen plotting on ads-b.

Can we expect a new Polish EH-101 (ZR287?) delivery within the next few days?

ZR285 was operating on the field and doing a few circuits all afternoon today. Still in primer.

I haven’t seen any recent logs of ZR286. Does anyone know it’s whereabouts?

I know this is not a Yeovil sighting, but something pinging 43C7DB and callsign WHE20 is operating from Vergiate today (22/08). Has this hex ever been identified ? It could be a Merlin.

ZZ100 arrived there yesterday. Possibly related?
