We present preliminary MERLIN radio maps at 1.7 and 5GHz of the Wolf-Rayet star WR147 (AS431). These provide the highest spatial resolution images of this object at these frequencies to date. Our results confirm that WR147 comprises two primary radio sources lying on a N-S axis. Combining results at 1.7 and 5 GHz gives a spectrum for the southerly source consistent with optically thick thermal emission. The northerly source appears to be non-thermal. In addition, extended emission is observed at both frequencies which links the two sources. The northerly source is elongated in a direction roughly perpendicular to the axis of this extended emission, and the southerly source appears double on the 5 GHz map.
