The Wildcat AH1 prototype (ZZ401) was last reported stored

with Leonardo at Yeovil in January 2016. It is unclear when it

was moved to RNAS Yeovilton, but it was confirmed present

inside the AAC Training Building in April 2018.

So far the Royal Navy Wildcats did not carry any deck landing

codes, this might change in the future since ZZ533 (815NAS)

was coded MM for HMS Monmouth in April 2018. It is not

clear yet if this is an anomaly, or the start of a new feature

in which these helicopters will carry allocated codes again.

Africa


Due to a small mistake the African section of 468 wasn’t pub-

lished and so this month we have a much large section.
