The ones that I haven't seen anything for recently are 12-0062 which (as noted above) departed to the South East on 08/01/2016 as "WORK71" together with 07-0033 as "WORK72".
12-0062 and 07-0033 were seemingly swapped over for 11-0061 which arrived as WORK 71 on 15/01/16 and another which i cannot find a serial for

As per this thread viewtopic.php?f=8&t=124033&p=775871&hil ... 71#p775871

Al, the other one was 08-0051.

I was under the impression that these were replacements for the two (0059/0060) that went East back on 1 February 2015. But I stand willing to be corrected.

Thanks for this Glen.
Does this imply that CV-22s -0059 & -0060 are back at the 'Hall or are they still based and still on TDY.
Many thanks,
Freeman
It’s not what you look at that matters. It’s what you see.

ADS-B showed V-22 05-0028 flying around East Anglia this evening. Is this a new delivery or a miscoded box?

It is a mis-coded box and ADS-B should be showing it as 10-0052.

This one along with (previously based) 11-0059 and 11-0060 arrived on 14/12/2018. These three replaced 11-0057, 11-0058 and 11-0061 which departed on 09/12/2018.

Good afternoon all. Ive recently relocated to the Norfolk/Suffolk area and I am attempting get up to speed on the local airfields and units.

The last info I can find on the current based KC-135 airplanes with the 100th ARW was a post by Glencoe back in 2016 as reproduced below

58-0069 Boeing KC-135T
58-0118 Boeing KC-135R
59-1464 Boeing KC-135T
59-1471 Boeing KC-135T
59-1492 Boeing KC-135R
59-1513 Boeing KC-135T
61-0267 Boeing KC-135R
61-0299 Boeing KC-135T
61-0321 Boeing KC-135R
62-3565 Boeing KC-135R
63-7999 Boeing KC-135R "Boss Bird"
63-8021 Boeing KC-135R
63-8027 Boeing KC-135R
63-8871 Boeing KC-135R
63-8884 Boeing KC-135R "Woolf Pack"

I paid a couple of visits to Mildenhall in the last week and noted the following which are either updates to this list, or confirmation of airplanes still based as per the previous list above. These are notes/photos taken from Johns Field and I didn't do a fence tour for anything that didn't fly on either occasion.

18.4.19

60-0324 still based 100th ARW markings

23.4.19

57-1440 addition
57-1474 addition with Clover Leaf nose art and the name "MISS IRISH"
62-3551 addition

57-2605 still based with Eagle badge nose art and the name "BIGGASBIRD"
58-0100 still based with "D" badge nose art and the name "HUNDRED PROOF"

all the above KC-135Rs with 100th ARW marking and operating with QUID callsigns

If anyone can post a more comprehensive list of the current situation I (and possibly others of course) would be grateful for some up to date info.

What 2 Osprey serials have the black D-day Flag mks on tail?
Same for the MC-130.
Today 19th this MC-130 and CV-22 were for some ceremony in front off a hangar.
