Hi Mike
Your welcome... shame the base isn't as active as it once was but still enjoyed dropping by for an hour.

The F-35 is indeed a mock-up but is a fairly specialist one. It has been commissioned and built for use by the Culdrose based 'School of Flight Deck Operations'. It is same size, shape, etc. And can be filled with water to replicate the weight of a real F-35 to allow realist training.

Hi Bucc67
Many thanks for the info... very interesting... as a mock up though, I would expect it not to have any kind of serial?

Apologies for the lateness of this but I've only just seen the post
The F-35 mockups are numbered GTA 01 through 04
GTA 01 and GTA 03 have black painted canopies, GTA 02 and GTA 04 have actual canopies

Re: Quick Log 25-9-19
Whereabouts? Harrier could be one of a few but Merlin may have been the testing mockup AV511.
