Kurnass,

You are a wizard, where did you find these serials ? This has made the week for me never mind the day. 5 out of 6 is just amazing.

Thanks for your persistence.

These were most likely Patrulla Aspa, they are flying from San Javier at the moment

Bit of a long shot as not many people visit this neck of the woods. Was in the area today and saw 6 helicopters over San Pedro del Pinatar heading towards San Javier. They came past me at about 1220h local time. They could be AW139s of Salvamento Maritimo which are civil registered but any registrat...

Re: Spanish AF PC-21 deliveries

Mark, Sorry for the delay, but San Javier AB is not reported on very often, only by me as I am out in the area at least twice a year. Anyway when last there in Nov 22 the road to the end of the runway was closed as it was being re-laid. Before these works there is a road on the left and you can catc...

Murcia Region, Spain - 168980 C-40A

I saw this aircraft on 20/05/20 tracking SW to NE as CNV6621. Today (22/5) same aircraft, same track as CNV6622, BUT it was closely followed on the same track by something small and grey. Anyone any ideas out there for a beleagured spotter in Spain.

CASA at RMU (Corvera, Murcia)

A long shot but on 15/10/19 a C295, I think, callsign CASA985 was at the above and had been for the previous 3 days. This may be civil or have a test registration. Any idea of ID would be appreciated.
