And there's a Griffin on 824 pan now. Should be ZJ242

Griffin is indeed ZJ242, coded 'E', appears to be a night-stopper.
There were also a pair of Falcon 20s doing their usual circuit-bashing this morning.
Here's the Gazelle arriving.

And ZK001 on test, kind of nice as it's my penultimate British Merlin to snap.

Missed the Gazelle, I did see the Squirrel land at 824 but to distant for images. Here is one of a Hawk and the "Air Day" sky, lol

Can't help with your depth Merlin, Allan.
Your pictured Merlin = ZF641
Sea King = XV657
Merlin = AV511 (Mock-up)
