Just had a hawk T2 low level over the A303 around 10 east of Yeovilton,guessing he’s burning some fuel before landing at Yeovilton.
May the skies be clear and blue and the wind fair with a guiding star to steer by.

awacy003 reports on Scramble.nl : Their L39 and C27J will fly via Bremen to Yeovilton. Should be 16/L39 and 07/C-27J.

Hi
Does anyone know if the AS532 Cougar went for a photoshoot with the Skyvan on Friday morning.
I eyeballed a singleton inbound from the south and trying to identify it.
Thanks

The French Navy formation for Air Day has just made 4 passes over Ilminster - possibly in the Merryfield hold prior to landing.

2 x Rafales, 2 x classic jets and a 'bizjet' sized VIP jet.

Guardian 91 air tested out of Brize this PM before departing, on ADSB showing as XV664 , but actual aircraft is ZA126

Took a look over the fence(s) this evening. Additions are :

ZA126 Sea King ASAC7 (not XV664)
(18) NH90 French Navy difficult to read in fading light.
ZM306 Prefect RAF
N-258 NH90 Dutch Navy
XX157 Hawk T1 736 NAS in static
I've written down 15blue as the Lithuanian L39?

Southside hangar apron has 2 Greek F-16, 2 Belgian F-16, 1 Danish F-16. Plus 736NAS Hawks XX324 and XX329. No sign of the two RAF Typhoons though. All the rest is north-side so easily visible from inside the show.

Western end Helicopter (the old Junglie Assault) lines have Wildcat HMA2's ZZ533, ZZ514, ZZ380, Merlins coded /0, /K, /B and /AF, and Wildcat AH1's ZZ384 and ZZ408.

ETA : Edited to correct some typos.

Fantastic, many thanks Malcolm. :thumbs: :thumb:

Quick correction, your Norwegian F-16 is in fact Danish. :)

Interesting as there was no 21 White arrived at Yeovilton; however 23 Blue arrived at about 1340 hrs Local . Does this mean they have 're-coded / re-numbered' it but not changed its Hex Code??

Just to clarify the 3 Hawks flying today were XX157 "CU" and XX329 "844/CU", which did the Commando Assault demo early on, and then XX324, coded "324", landed around 1245. There are a couple of Hawk typo's in the thread above.

Wildcats ZZ384 and 408 flew with Merlins ZJ126 / K and ZJ130 / O to complete the Commando demo.

A Whirlwind landed, presumably XJ729, and there was also a Chipmunk and Bulldog in the static which evaded me.

Austers TW536 and WZ706 arrived during the day, TW536 accompanied Bird Dog 0-16957. Chipmunk WP973 also arrived.

Cheers, DC
