RNAS Yeovilton visit 25/2/15

[graham]

Spent 40 mins in the museum carpark, then drove around the field for the chance to see a few more, quite a lot of activity, two Alpha Jets departed as I arrived, no chance to tie them up. A couple of queries namely, the two Harriers coded 001 & 123 if anyone can help please and the small plane ( sorry, my military aircraft ID is awful) with the two blokes stood in front of it, and the chopper coded 474

Fantastic John, many thanks indeed

Hi Graham. According to the latest Air Britain magazine XZ690 was re-coded as 640 last December. Code 474 should be ZD259. Hope that helps. Ray

Hi Graham
Your silver plane with 2 camera hogs is a Provost, the prop predecessor to the Jet Provost.

Have fun
Terry
