Hi about 16.25 a single Tornado came over Dorchester looked like it was turning back towards the Yeovil direction. Nice and loud.

Does anyone have a full list of serials of what is in so far please.Not too worried about the Saudis but the rest could be useful in deciding whether to go tomorrow and fork out the gate fees or not
Thanks in anticipation

[CHILL51]

Foreign/Highlights are..
83+06 Lynx GN
1116 Bryzna Polish Navy
11 Rafale M French Navy
101 Fa20 French Navy
unknwn MH-60 (probably a LN machine)
8 Saudi Hawks (one in static)
2 Saudi Herks (one in static)
RAF Tornado GR4
2 x Army Apaches , 1 in static, one in the commando assault.

No sign of Wildcats or NH90's as at 8pm. ZZ408 did land back at Yeovil/Westlands at about 2pm, so it's possible that could appear tomorrow. It's not unusual for French Navy stuff to arrive Saturday morning, so the NH-90 could still be on.

Cheers
Malcolm

'MARHAM 02' went into Yeovilton and was ZE116, followed by 'RICO 51' LN F15

Marham 02 was ZE116
But Rico 51 was ??? anyone catch it? PLEASE

[richpittman]

Marham 02 didnt show and the merlin was a fly through to the West and back a bit later.

Many jets heard on 234.3 were transiting the area were just using the radar service

Just wondering but is it "Serials" that decide whether or not you attend an airshow?

[Blackcat1]

Not for me!! they are just an extra its seeing and being around jet's that does it for me, the noise and sound is what gets me there!! ;-)
