Hi Chaps,
Could anyone assist with the ZJ78.. serial of the Dauphin operating around St Athan and Cardiff Airport today, from approx 1330 local until 1500.
Much appreciation in advance!
Cheers

Think there were two, actually. Following from SWAG for Cardiff movements (no mention at St. Athan). Sadly no serials.
"Lords 11" AS.365N3 ..go-rounds 13:48, 14:00, 14:15 and departed
"Lords 16" AS.365N3 ..go-round 15:10 and departed

Thanks Bob,
I was on the phone outside at 1400 and 1510, so at least i saw both!
Thanks for your kind reply, i guess there are limited ways to find the serials of the elusive machines?
Cheers

Generally reading what's on the back of the aircraft is the best way ;)

But even then, I'm not 100% convinced they don't swap numbers about...

Reading them off on the ramp at Hereford is the easiest way to get them.

Seen them all at Sennybridge they frequent that camp often, mostly at night though.
