Awesome stuff, as per.

Interesting to see that they put the refuelling probe back on the HC4. Not seen a British EH-101 with one equipped for some time.

Can someone please phone Yeovil and tell them that they've painted the new Merlin HC4 the wrong colour... :wall:

Looks more like a test pitot tube to me....makes sense for the flight test airframe.

It's definitely a refuelling probe Mic, see image below, although it does appear to have some sort of instrumented test fixture on the end!
