Nice to see some new faces and many thanks to phil for showing me and the houghton brothers around

Can anyone confirm the call sign of 212 when it came back and also 26206 (may have been 26208 but not 100% sure as photos aren't very clear).

Did 212 return late afternoon? If so, it used Q99 again (or was this another jet swap?).

Regards

[captain scarlet]

Yes, 212 landed back along with the last 'staki' flight.

Happy to show you guys about. Hope you found them of use for the photos.

26208 was the number on the HH-60

forgive the quality but as you can understand they're extreme crops.

[captain scarlet]

That's brilliant mick,

my photos of the fin on the port side showed the final "6" looking like an "8" so was a bit confused, i think it gets a bit dirty so closes up to look like an 8 (steve showed me a shot that looked more like a 6 so that'll do for me unless someone from LN can confirm otherwise).

i'll keep it logged as '206'

Thanks for showing us around phil, much appreciated.

[trotsenstein]

Oops, I'm losing my sight, 06 it is.

Fine log as always Coningsbys loss this week is Leeming gain.
Good to see you again,see you soon at 25/07 end.

Steve.

Nice

Cracking log Richard

Was there for the afternoon only, caught the launches from viewing area and recoveries from main road under the approach end.

Your log made tying my pics up with serials and callsigns a doddle, (hope you dont mind me using your log as reference)
Credit to you for the descriptions on my pics posted on Flickr, big thank you

Can also confirm that LN HH60 was indeed 206 from my pics

Thanks again and all the best

Trev

[captain scarlet]

Cheers Teejay, much appreciated (and thanks for confirming 206).

[TeeJay]

Your welcome.

Hope to get up to CGY again before end of the year too
