HH-60G's at Mildenhall

Hello Guys,
Unfortunately I've long since disposed of my collection of BARG and STROBE so can't get this information, so hopefully some of you guys haven't been like me, and disposed of them.
I know there were two HH-60G's deployed to Mildenhall in 1999 as base security for operations at Fairford during Operation Allied Force as they were the 856th Expeditionary Rescue Squadron, looking after the B-1's and B-52's. However I don't know what the serials were, or how long they were at the base. I suspect one was 89-26208 as I have a picture of one landing in low light at Mildenhall after coming back from a days base security. I waited all day for them to come back and can remember a load of people around Johns field on the trailer taking pics of them.
Any info would be appreciated, and if your in possession of a pic I would love it if you could share it with me.
Many thanks,
Tony
