DA-42 MPP OE-FOG has finally taken up UK marks as G-DOSC. It left Boscombe Down on the evening of 11-Mar for a two day stay at Aviation Maintenance (AVM) at Bournemouth returning yesterday evening, 13-Mar, to Old Sarum where it is pictured on the morning of 14-Mar. The British Military fin flash on the tail is not applied (or taped over) and it has yet to acquire the 'Royal Air Force' titles that its predecessors G-DOSA and G-DOSB showed well before they took up Military serials of ZA179 and ZA180. Although the titling is DA42MPP, according to G-INFO it is a DA.42M c/n 001.
They're doing some spring cleaning of the HASs containing the Rasperry Ripple fleet. Tornado ZA326 is spending most of the week sat on the south side of the airfield folornly minus rudder. In an open HAS a Jaguar T.2 and what looked like another Jaguar were visible. The Mil Mi-17s didn't fly this morning and only appeared after two Gazelles appeared from Middle Wallop callsign Cordon 04 and 06. Last week the Gazelles were Sandrat 04 and 06. They're supposedly here for training but as both arrived with 1 POB I guess they must be part of the Mil crew.
