Can anyone help ID the 7 ex Army Islanders stored outside at Lee-On-Solent. I think One is G-DLRA/ZG989 as has Union Jack tail. I know which ones are there but can't find list of those that can be seen outside hangar.

That's good. Please let us know which 7 you have as the last log was from 2023 and as far as I'm aware they do switch from time ti time.

Kind Regards.

I was there on 27/7/24 and there were 7 outside however the only one I could see with ID marks was G-DLRA. Does anyone know if they are likely to be the same ones as in April? I took a few photos showing their right hand sides but they all look the same to me!
