ZA399 - AJ-C

brilliant for the other tie ups ( think the above is XV659/62 ? )

jag EE ties up as XZ367

jag EJ ties up as XZ399

to the right of the wessex at the far end,was a desert pink Jag,clearly on the nose is 8955

any ideas,as that is also XX110/EP which was on full view !

...and were XX958/BK XX112/EA on show ?

( log book rain attacked !! )

Should be XV659 as '649 is stored at Fleetlands.

The Gazelle with rotors on was indeed XW899.

I think the unmarked Jaguar was XX833.

One of the twin sticks around the back had QinetiQ markings on it too IIRC.

Hi the jag coded BK XX958 was to the left of the sea king XV643 if you stood where matty took his photos but could only be seen by walking round to the left where a few more could be seen.Didn't see EA unless it was one of the half dozen or so right by the mound and couldn't be read off.
Hope this helps.

That indoor one looks like XX833, the QinetiQ twinstick. I've just looked at my photos of her from last year, and she's got exactly the same paint scratches on the leading edge of the tailfin! :lol:

It's definitely a T-jet, as it doesn't have that block on the tail.
