Lynx o/h Portreath

Post by Nick.M » Thu Feb 14, 2013 5:07 pm

Camo Lynx seen circling RAF Portreath at very low level at around 1600 hrs today.
Anyone know if it was Army or Marines? It looked to have skids fitted.

YEOVIL is a Hawk callsign. It was indeed DEVIL, which is a Wallop Trials Unit (667sqn) callsign. 75 being assigned to the P.I.C.
