Just to update the state of Sea Kings here, as of 10.00am today the newest arrival XZ578 is still parked outside and clearly visible from the Trend car park. All the others are still outside and still wrapped. This may help somebody.

I may be a bit out of date - there was a raspberry ripple one outside two weeks ago, plus a yellow and many in wrappers. Any more?

A quick visit here this morning confirms 9 frames are visible from outside the compound. The original 6 still wrapped and in their original positions. Plus 2 x Red/White/blue (RAE/ETPS). Lastly 1 x Yellow coded "S" Maybe ZE369 ? No serials visible so not read off.
