Kevin,

This ac arrived at Yeovil today with a crew to collect a new Merlin and was confirmed as M-517. It has on previous occasions used the c/s M505 which may have led to the confusion. Previous reg was ZK162.

Even more confusing is the fact that today he was using the c/s DAF3360 which is one usually usually used by an AS550C2 Fennec.

It's great to see more Tornado GR4's fitted with ModeS.  This one currently doing low level (160ft) bomb runs into Tain Range.

Picked up the following this morning:

45F435  M520         M-511   EH10  Denmark - Air Force  2010/01/20 11:36:47 
45F42F  DAF3360    M-517   EH10  Denmark - Air Force  2010/01/20 11:33:04

Presumably the Danes returning home with their new Merlin. Callsign differing from serial on the new a/c so is there a possibility of wrong serial?

Having looked at my log, I suspect you really mean 20,000ft (FL200) !

If they were in formation, even a loose one, then it's likely that only one would have had its transponder on.

Wow! Did you get a visual confirmation on this one Tom?  No chance of a miscoded box?
