As the thread title suggests it seems this airframe is very very shy, it was registered in the UK 13.11.13, and has been very camera shy ? A.Net = zero ! there seem to be only two photos out there ?? Based at Farnborough it visited Norwich for just under two hours this evening ! Was lucky to arrive at the right time :o

Not this one. Pretty sure this is currently working on an off-shore contract.

It was spending a lot of time working London Mil VHF off the east coast, now it seems to be spending a lot of time over major towns and cities! :ninja: :ninja: :ninja:

Maybe not as 'shy' as it first appears.

Perhaps it's daily use over the winter has meant not appearing at any airports in daylight. This is fast changing now and of course, more people are out looking for pics.
