Camo Lynx seen circling RAF Portreath at very low level at around 1600 hrs today.
Anyone know if it was Army or Marines? It looked to have skids fitted.

XZ208 (AH.7) spotted at CU at 14:25 - out @ circa 15:00. A likely suspect.

Good work there Chough. Also Spotted outside depth today @ 14:25 (credit Steve E) were ZJ121/E plus ZJ124/H.
Ly*x AH.7 Has just departed CU @18:20. Too dark to ID.

YEOVIL is a Hawk callsign. It was indeed DEVIL, which is a Wallop Trials Unit (667sqn) callsign. 75 being assigned to the P.I.C.
