Would appreciate visual confirmation of its identity on arrival please, because it's always nice to be 100% certain!

[LewisMacdonaldMedia]

Can't see that link as not authorised. And will try get numbers for you.

[POL]

Ah of course, the post count was increased to 15 before you can see that section!

[LewisMacdonaldMedia]

Confirmed as listed.

[LewisMacdonaldMedia]

Looks to be ONS. Tags are being applied and crew being taken away.

[POL]

Lovely thank you!

Only identifying marks seen from outside are the last two ‘SH’ of what should be the F- registration.

Only showing SH on fuselage, will need to check images thoroughly for any aerial.
Cheers.

Glad it turned up for you Mike. Was it low coming in?

I had intended to come back for it, but it took me over an hour on the bypass to get to the otherside of Edinburgh and it looked worse on the other carriageway for coming back to the airport, plus I'd have to go back the same way again if I had returned, so I decided to avoid the frustration and just went home.

On the port side of fin serial could be tucked right up and immediately below the horizontal stabiliser.

Can confirm on checking my photographs, after a fair bit of ‘blowing up’ and exactly where suggested, serial is 2772
Also looks to be on starboard side immediately below rotor hub, but not just so clear.

I'm told it may go back tomorrow, although unconfirmed at this time. Hopefully if it does you will get it, I hate the bypass it's a nightmare!

Thanks landshark2084, haven't got round to checking my images yet.
Cheers.

Just had a quick trip out to have a look, surprised it’s parked where it is, thought it would be next to the USAF planes.

I thought I had missed it but was pleased to see it when I went down to the end to turn.
Unfortunately crap for photograph as the sun chose to leave the clouds at that point so a grey silhouette.

Maybe a bit of over exposure might have helped?

Departed this morning. Looks like he went towards Glasgow and then dropped off radar so unsure of where at from then onwards.

It went to Glenforsa (Mull) earlier and has just arrived at Glasgow for a night-stop.
