Hi

Did anyone manage to identify the single Apache at wattisham on Saturday morning ?

It looked like it ended in 17 but I couldn't read it.

Mike,

There isn't one ending in "17" that is based in Germany at the moment (to the best of my knowledge).

Could it have been "77" - as 04-05477 is over there?
Cheers, Bob

Thanks

It was too far away - tantalisingly you could see the last three but the angle and light was awkward

DSEI is a large defence industry expo held at the Excel every two years. It starts on Monday and last time had a US Army CH47 and AH64 on display. May be coincidence but....

Hopefully it will come to light - maybe one of the locals read it off on departure

Are there any with a last three like 45* eg 456 ?

Sorry about the duplicate post

11:55L Just saw two US Army AH-64D cross over the Lakenheath 24 approach inbound Wattisham - although I should say I didn't hear them on Wattisham tower.
