15.20 SHF525, Chinook ZD982, over the house inbound to Odiham. Another old one!
And I see there is another operating north of here, SHF281, ZA683, possibly out of Benson,
Plus ZH902 on a Gauntlet call sign to the west.
Are the ZK... ones flying at the moment?
EDIT
15.40 Just seen ZH902 still showing as BDN068, over the house possibly back to Odiham. Unfortunately not one of the three ZH... I need!

Re the Hawks returning from Deci to Valley earlier:
Two flights of three came over Winchester / Southampton at 1237 and 1258. ZK023 was the lead for the first and '024 the second.
'
ZK022 and '019 followed as singletons within half an hour, with '022 divving into Boscombe Down, possibly a fuel diversion or other issue.
I missed ZK015 which came through before the flights of three at FL280, not trailing. All of the others were at FL380 or above, leaving short contrails.
If anyone has any further info on the missing serials I'd be grateful!
cheers
DC

Thanks Chris.
Fighter Control reported ZK028 and 032 heading down with the original deployment on March 22nd, not sure if they formed part of yesterdays formations though.
