REQ: UH-1 Huey Wed 15 Nov

Post by Cessna954 » Thu Nov 26, 2015 10:21 am

Hi Folks,

an all over white scheme UH-1 Huey trundled overhead east Somerset at about 9:30 on Wednesday 25th Nov heading broadly south west. Very rarely see a Huey these days and I'm assuming that it was civil in view of its paint scheme. I've not seen any reports on the Net of sightings so would appreciate any detail on its identification and where it was going.

I'm aware of the two down the road at Sparkford but thought they were non airworthy examples.

Many thanks

Cessna

There are a few German registered examples operating in the UK so probably one of them?

A few pics of one of them operating can be found in this older thread

Thanks for the link Martin.

It appears that it's now registered G-UHGB and was likely to have been going to Sparkford for maintenance.

Cheers
