Hi,
Seen at Biggin Hill on 18 June 1989 were Harriers code 'N' and '3C', Gazelles 'CU-48', 'CU-50', 'CU-51' and 'CU-54' , and Hawks 'X' and '223'. Can anyone help with serials and units please.
Grateful, regards

Re: Biggin Hill June 1989
Can't help with specific date/location but based on sightings around that time (before and after) the following should be correct:
Harrier GR.3 XV783/N
Harrier GR.3 XZ129/3C
Gazelle HT.2 XW886 48-CU
Gazelle HT.2 XW868 50-CU
Gazelle HT.2 XW895 51-CU
Gazelle HT.2 XW864 54-CU
Hawk T.1 XX325/X 151 Sqn
Nothing on 223. If this was XX223 then it was written off at Valley in 1986 - mispole?
Hope of use.

Re: Biggin Hill June 1989
re the Hawk, I have logged for that day the following at Biggin:
XX193 Hawk T.1 1 TWU
XX280 Hawk T.1 1 TWU
XX325/X Hawk T.1 2 TWU
XX283/Z Hawk T.1 2 TWU
XX203 Hawk T.1 2 TWU
XX203 may possibly be your '223'. The Harriers & Gazelle all tie up with Nighthawke's response.

Thanks to you both for such a quick response, not only filled a few gaps but made a not so good day much better.
Am a first time user of the forum so this proves it works. Greatly appreciated.
