Monday 11th June,

Reported as arriving at 10.53 was Shadow R.1 ZZ504 from 14 Sqn as callsign Vulcan01.
A Shadow R.1 departed at 12.07 calling Medusa 54,which should be ZZ504,but it has also been reported as ZZ416.

ZZ416 has been flying today(12th June) from Waddington.

Update,

It now appears that ZZ504 was a crew-ferry for the delivery of ZZ416 back to 14 Sqn at Waddington.
