(MM81...) 15-10 HH-101A For AMI, (23 Gr) WHE06 ZR359 First flight today

The latest Italian CSAR Merlin first flew after it's initial engine run the previous day during the afternoon. Note there is a jump in AMI code allocations for this type from 15-07 to 15-10.

The Philippine Wildcat first flew today since the 12th April. From published information, the delivery of the 2 Philippine Wildcats is due this month, and their departure from here is likely to take place very soon.

Tuesday 30th April 13:00

Hex code 43C916 (ZZ549) has become airborne and is heading east to Stansted as WHE01. ZZ550 should be with it.

This is the first leg of the delivery of these Wildcats.

The first of many if they're going to the Phillippines!

This pair of Wildcats have arrived at Stansted at 14:15 having overflown London en route there.

They should arrive at their new home on the 4th May, courtesy of a long flight in an AN-124.

Noted on Monday 04th November,

ZZ102 AW101 Mk.612 flying as WHE20
0277 AW101 Mk.612 no rotors or UK serial (will be ZZ108) outside from around 14:30. This Merlin still has parts in primer, and is probably still some way off it's first flight date.
