Re: Yeovil (Westland) sightings 2022
Hello all,
I was at yeovil on 10/08/22 and saw this wrapped helicopter fuselage by the rotor test cells, Im pretty sure it's a merlin.
Does anyone happen to know the reg?
Many thanks

Re: Yeovil (Westland) sightings 2022
From an earlier post
two bagged Merlins are likely to be ZR342 and ZR347 [4K-Ai010], however confirmation of this is required. Report suggested that the two actually arrived by road, which would make this untrue.
They arrived some time ago , pre covid ....Still unconfirmed

It’s not what you look at that matters. It’s what you see.

Good to see your reports coming in again Mike!
Re: Yeovil (Westland) sightings 2022
Just for the record ZR285 flew late afternoon on Thursday 29th.
It still shows on 'flightradar24' as 0268.

Re: Yeovil (Westland) sightings 2022
Is that for delivery to Polish Navy, or to go elsewhere for further flight testing?

Re: Yeovil (Westland) sightings 2022
Surely he's referring to another Merlin being in a black bag, not a Polish one?
Re: Yeovil (Westland) sightings 2022
it could be a polish one but could not see it completely as it was being loaded onto the lorry by the wash bay
