2 Chinooks and 1 Merlin just routed past Skelmersdale at 0930-0935, heading east/southeast. Can anyone ID these 3 out of the ones that were present?
Thanks Darren

Driving so didn't catch the registrations. After the two wokkas and merlin three more merlins in close formation, COMMANDO01-03 (using ops freq for a/a and just pushed Shawbury LARS VHF @10:15)
edit: From recordings and based on their original arrival callsign/regs:
LIFTER01 and LIFTER02 were the first two wokkas and probably ZH553/ZK563 (gave intention as Yeovilton with fuel stop at Stafford)
TIGER67 was the merlin and it will be ZH857 (fuel stop Shawbury?)
COMMANDO01, 02 and 03 probably ZJ126, ZJ130 and ZJ132 (Yeovilton, no fuel stop)

COMMANDO01, 02 and 03 probably ZJ126, ZJ130 and ZJ132 (Yeovilton, no fuel stop) The first group was 2 x Wokkas led by ZK553 (presume you mean this and not ZH which was a Tonka). The first Merlin followed very close behind these two down the LLR but with a 1.5 mile gap roughly. This was ZH857. The second group was led by ZJ126, but I couldn't ID the other two  Regards, Lee. |
