Inmiddels is toch duidelijk dat er beneden deks op de Prince of Wales 6 Merlins geparkeerd staan. Met dank aan een goed geïnformeerde bron zijn er 5 achterhaald;

Checked her just now from the langtong de punt rozenburg and noted 1 merlin on the reardeck, might be an aew (or shadows playing tricks on me) anyone who can confirm her id?

[Polleke_NL]

She's definately an aew, and currently flashing her strobes

[Polleke_NL]

From the ECT she can be spotted from the frontside where the nose clearly shows "81", but I can't find any HM2 AEW in the databse with that code, does anyone have a clue about her id?

Wanneer en hoe laat gaan ze volgens de planning het zeegat uit?

Do you have a spot/coördinates from where the deck (whole deck?) can be seen? Tomorrow all 5 Merlins are to leave the ship while enroute to port, so chances are they will be brought on deck later today/tomorrow before sailing.

Quite likely this is ZH831. I found several pictures/logs from ZH864 with code "70" (from 2021 till as recent as 2022). As ZH831 is the knly other AEW2 aboard.

Etd is delayed till 1400lt. Around 0745lt the carrier deck was devoid of any helicopters.

Heli's still on board? ADSB hasnt pinged any of the regs today, so I assume they are?
