Hi all,
Noted around 11am yesterday, were:

XX392 Westland WA.341 Gazelle AH1 Army Air Corps
XZ345/M Westland WA.341 Gazelle AH.1 Army Air Corps
ZB625 Westland WA.341 Gazelle HT.3 QinetiQ (overflew en route Boscombe)
ZB691/S Westland WA.341 Gazelle AH.1 Army Air Corps
ZB692/Y Westland WA.341 Gazelle AH.1 Army Air Corps
ZJ219 Westland Apache AH.1 Army Air Corps
ZJ244/44 Eurocopter AS.350BB Squirrel HT.2 Army Air Corps
ZJ245/45 Eurocopter AS.350BB Squirrel HT.2 Army Air Corps
ZJ248/48 Eurocopter AS.350BB Squirrel HT.2 Army Air Corps
ZJ249/49 Eurocopter AS.350BB Squirrel HT.2 Army Air Corps
ZK067 Bell 212HP AH.3 Army Air Corps

Fuselages stored, listed looking left to right as the aircraft are nose-on when viewed from the A343 having walked up from the museum. Hopefully someone can help with the blanks?! I've included comments on how I've ID'ed them, too.

_____ Lynx AH.7
_____ Lynx AH.7
(ZD249) Lynx HAS.3 (702 Squadron on the nose)
_____/X Scout - code on the nose, ex Netheravon gate? Can someone check the gate there?
(XZ735) Lynx HAS.3 (only one left, as ZD253 - reported on Demobbed - is pretty destinctive as it's damaged and XZ233 is blue!)
XZ(65)2 Lynx AH.7 (missing two numbers are hidden in my photo, doesn't look like XZ672, also reported here but on the dump on the other side of the base)
XZ246/EE-434 Lynx HAS.3 (ID'ed from code, this is the dayglo one)
ZD284 Lynx AH.7 (based in nose cone, read off from a bit further round)
(XZ232) Lynx HAS.3 (702 Squadron on the nose, 702 on the tail)
(XZ185) Lynx AH.7 (no boom, XZ185 stencilled on the nose!)

As said, any help appreciated!
