Spotted about 16:00 (Either just before,or just after the Jet provost departed Back to newquay) At first i thought it was a lynx climbing up through the clouds..
Did'nt look to hard as thought it was the lynx that displayed yesterday,departing BUT thinking about it, did'nt that leave after it displayed yesterday?
And i know the Wildcat departed this morning,so it was'nt that one.
Been a Wildcat in newquay this Afternoon did it pop down to CU??Or is it a lynx from a ship in on the mail run?
P.S. been listing to the scanner all day. 10 minutes away and i miss somthing that will teach me!

Chaps the easiest way to tell the difference between a Lynx and a Wildcat is that the Wildcat has white strobe lights flashing when it flies, the Lynx does not.
HTH

I know this.. but thanks anyway.. Also worth a note is on the Wildcat, when veiwed from underneath, the tail boom has tail plane across its section, just infront of the tail rotor.
A lynx has only one tail plane.oppisit side to its tail rotor..
problem i had,when i viewed it earlier today it was just disappearing in to clouds, so was'nt able to get a good view of the tail configuration!! or see it strobing
