Please note that your HC.4 coded S should be ZJ134. The second unread grey one we noted, was outside the hangar without rotors with a rack next to it being worked upon. Was that the same one as your "S"?
"I" was a misread. It was a complete HC.4 still in green colors outside the hangar and could be seen from the museum.

thanks!

Hi guys, a quick update, the Merlin HC.3 in green outside the hangars that could be seen from the museum steps was ZJ135/T,
hope it helps,

Jeroen/Rob - Many thanks for the follow up and apologies for the typo. The Merlin ZJ134/S was doing handling checks at 1030hrs on my arrival over the 22 threshold and then returned to dispersal. I'm afraid I lost track of it subsequently as I spent the rest of day down at the 26 end. Equally I missed ZJ135/T. Oops!

Hope this helps.

Andy
