Polish Navy Merlin departing Yeovil

Post by Seacat192 » Thu Nov 25, 2021 6:44 pm

The intention was to spend the day at Yeovilton, but not a great deal happening, so I went home via Yeovil in the hope of catching some flying there.

Luckily for me, a Polish Navy Merlin was engine running and departed the airfield within 10-15 minutes of my arrival:

Good to see some familiar faces among those gathered to photograph the activity.


Thanks for looking.

I saw this airframe this afternoon working Torbay at 2,500 feet after having tracked it on ADSB from Yeovil via Exeter.
It's a great photo and thanks for sharing it :thumbs:
Best regards, Terry
