Notes:
1. Tiger Moth N3549, a recent import, wears its American civil registration, N3549, as if it were UK military
markings, complete with roundels and period style colours.
2. Beagle B206Z XS743 had its last flight on 7 November 2014 and is now with the apprentices at Boscombe Down.
One of the spares machines here, XS770 (G-HRHI) was noted road running to an unknown location a few days
later.
3. In a well-publicised sale, Harrier T8 ZD993 has been sold to Art Nalls in the USA, to join his Sea Harrier
and be restored to airworthy status. To confuse matters, Harrier T4 XZ145 was also painted as ZD993 and
departed for the US in August 2014!
4. Clearly rumours of the demise of Tornado F3 ZE342 were greatly exaggerated as it is now in the hands of
Rolls Royce at RAF Leeming!
5. With the withdrawal of UK forces from Afghanistan, this month’s update details the return of several assets
back to the UK.
6. It has been announced that 673 Squadron at Middle Wallop will disband, with the Apache training role being
picked up by a unit at Wattisham, thus making the latter base the sole one for the AAC Apache fleet.
7. The first Atlas C1, ZM400, was delivered to RAF Brize Norton on 17 November 2014.
