LC-35 was reported at DeKooy today on delivery to Nordholz.

[Two66]

Had WHE04 over me Tuesday managed to ID it as ZZ513 through my photos. So ZJ120 is the third HC.4 conversion going ZJ122 and ZJ127?

[Two66]

Hi

I anyone able to tell me which HC4 flew today? Came by me but wasn't close enough to ID it with a photo and wasn't showing on ADSB

Thanks

Out on a chilly but sunny ramp at 08:45 were:

Nothing. Been very quiet recently.

However, in the wash-rack was a fully painted rotor-less Norwegian Merlin with its Norwegian serial uncovered. Unfortunatley, I couldn't read it due to angle, terrain and heat-waves. Didn't have time to try Forest Hill. I suspect it's ZZ103/0268 so if anyone reads it off today...

Cheers
