Danish EH101 "Merlin" detach (#2) 23/04/18

Post by TombsRIP » Mon Apr 23, 2018 5:30 pm

Currently at Valley on detachment operating in Welsh MTA and operating from ASP1 (apron) near Control Twr are the following EH.101 Mk512's from Esk722:

M-510 (in light olive green camo);
M-516 (in darker c/sch similar to former 28 Sqn aircraft).

Both up on 2 sorties (am & early pm) c/signs DAF3175/3176. Up for just under 2hrs.

Arr last Mon. Believed to be going back Thurs this week.

Some additional information

M-510 (in light olive green camo) has RDAF EH101 "10,000 Flight Hours" next to the side access door.
If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...
