Also thanks to MALF For the heads up but there's an AAC Dauphin on the VAS pan as well? !!
Just remembered it's the funeral today for the solider from leeds town. Rumor had it there would be a fly past. Guess this is reason for all the AAC visitors :unsure:

The Army Lynx broke off the formation on approach to CU to 'recce' the cemetery.

Should have been a Lynx with an Apache. Wallop - Exmouth - Culdrose and vice versa. Both for the funeral flypast.

Live log has the Apache as ZJ176. And the Lynx as ZD274. Anyone able to confirm this please. Not sure which Dauphin it was. But think it was read of.

Lynx was definitely ZD274 coded 'M'. I am 90% sure the Dauphin was ZJ782. Couldn't read the Apache.
The Mk.8 Lynx was XZ690/? in and out a couple of times.
Lynx and Apache departed for flypast at 12:50, returned 13:15.
Dauphin departed 13:40
Mk 7 Lynx departed 13:55.
Apache departed 14:40.

Spotted both from Water-ma-trout and got a distant pic, given the time and location over Porthleven area I'd imagine they were heading towards the funeral. Didn't see them at Culdrose after though :S
