Chinooks noted today (7th March)were ZH893 tucked between the two hangars but visible from the steps of the Museum, ZH904 was on the ramp and flew, The third example was ZK551 which came in and 'Hot' refuelled before leaving again.

The Wildcat on the ramp facing south I believe to be ZZ523 and not '513', on the day I was inclined to put it as '513'but blowing my photo up to the max! it looks more like '523'
Hope this helps.
Regards Paul.

Paul thanks for the confirmation on the Philippine's Wildcat, can you shed any light on my unlikely sighting of (ZZ513) on the south apron? Do you have any further sighting for the 7th?

Kind Regards,
Steve

I have received confirmation from the museum that the black frame stored on the racking is likely to be the Fairy Barracuda, the cockpit section stored near the far-wall is Meteor WM292 and the Gazelle tail section coded 'X' is XX411.

REgards,
Steve
