I write the Gatwick section for LAAS so can supply info if required?

From photos taken in the rain on Tuesday morning, six west of the Belmont(?) hangars (including G-DLRA the Astor), there was then one south of these and one northside outside H5. Can't identify any from photos. As an aside, on the way off Gosport noted a Merlin heading for Fleetland or HMS Sultan, (...

Recently watched CTM EMB121 (possibly 099) arrive at Cambridge on ADS-B Exc. Sorry didn't note the hexcode at the time.

Hope of interest.

Just seen OTT SE England IAF474 decoded as KC-707 272 in the descent possibly for Waddington. I saw a thread earlier saying this was in the Mediterranean heading north (but can't remember where it was, sorry).

Steve

Seen earlier OTT Gatwick heading north-west in the descent 33FE3A (MM62286) as IAM1496 and according to ADS-B Exc seems to have arrived at Brize rather than Fairford.

Regards

No sorry Sir, the first four took-off just as I arrived followed by the two pairs while I was still hunting the other four. The four that didn't fly were 0307, 0244, 0287 and 0338 if I read my log's correctly.

As I thought the F16's were departing today managed to drag myself up to Lakenheath to finally see them. The following read off (the other two 'fudged' 86-0264 & (88-0405) / 93FS) - 85-1438 / 1487 86-0307 / 0319 87-0233 / 0244 / 0259 / 0287 / 0338, all 482FW / 93FS coded FM. (88-0405) 93FS. F15's pa...

I have received confirmation from the museum that the black frame stored on the racking is likely to be the Fairy Barracuda, the cockpit section stored near the far-wall is Meteor WM292 and the Gazelle tail section coded 'X' is XX411.

REgards,
Steve

Paul thanks for the confirmation on the Philippine's Wildcat, can you shed any light on my unlikely sighting of (ZZ513) on the south apron? Do you have any further sighting for the 7th?

Kind Regards,
Steve

A second visit to photograph the Lightning produced

(QQ100) A109 on maintenance (registration taken from maintenance board)

Next to the above was another A109 which the maintenance board identified as ending '416'.

Lightning XS936 is still present on the A38 at Castle Air outside Liskeard.

Seen heading up the north Cornish coast (reg from SBS) 2019.03.26 / 16.20 German Navy Lynx 8302 (2) as GNY4694. Does anyone known if this is ex Yeovil? Also picked up on SBS 2019.03.25 / 20.40.

Steve

Lightning XR755 still resides in the front garden of Pencrebar House near Callington.

Having missed what was stored outside at Cobham Hall on the 7th and as we were driving down to Cornwall last Saturday I popped it quickly, managed to see one outside couldn't identify it. Not Skyraider WV106 as this was inside, and I don't think it was Sea Hawk XE340, can anyone help?

Regards,

Steve

John, I've just read the 'post a photo' directions, unfortunately it doesn't help (me) at all, sorry. Can I forwards as an email to you direct? I've played around a bit with the image and I think it's still 513 (registration is in black) but I can't see any other markings. Regards, Steve (spence267@...

I've still got the photo, how can I post?

Steve

ZZ513, was photographed from both north and south-sides, I have already deleted the front view but back one after zooming / fudging and general wishful thinking I can still only come up with '513' possibly. Sorry can't help any further. Regarding the Philippine Wildcat (ZZ549 / 550), the last number...
