I don't often post pictures, but this C-17 was just too good looking to resist. Firstly, from the Aerozone https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54494264109_8fa32fc752_b.jpg 4G4A9293 by Steve Gelling , on Flickr Then from behind The Ash public house https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54493213482_8e7a...

All 6 parked out, with codes easily readable from top of the hill on Saturday morning.

Nice pics of an iconic piece of engineering.

Out of interest, how much do they have to slow down along the section of rail in your first pic?

Hi,
HU.21-16 Super puma & HT.29-06/ET-664 Cougar Both seen on the 10th Feb.

Davem

The Cougar was HT.27-16/ET-664. HT.29-06/ET-806 is an NH-90 which was also present during February.

I believe it is the same one, yes.

Noted at Getafe this afternoon were the following- A-330 MRTT EC-351 Full French markings, with serial covered. Presume it will revert to F-UJCS when it re-enters service. EC-354/T7-TAY white with FT on tail (due to be the new Airbus trials aircraft). 765 Singapore A.F. In for upgrade works. 1304 UA...

I am expecting to be passing by again on Saturday evening so will have a look at what's parked where then.

Regards, Steve

That's correct. T7-TAY is the A330 marked as FT.

Can't help with the Luftwaffe A400 as both 54+06 and 54+41 were parked out on Sunday 2nd Feb.

Regards, Steve

A very nice, and rare, addition to TLP should be an Italian A.F. Beech 350 according to TLP's own web pages-

I'm in their bad books again today as I met with someone to give them a copy of my book they'd paid for. I received a message whilst in the car park 'polite reminder that you are not allowed to sell anything in the car park'. Didn't bother replying. Guess the latest post on the group is about you t...

To further update, the Kazakh C-295 marked as EC-294 has just departed on a test flight with callsign CASA927 which should make it c/n 227

A400's out at 14:20 on Tuesday 24th from left to right, were- 54+49 MSN 143 F-RBAY (later moved inside) 54+47 MSN 140 T.23-04 (side on at end of main production hangars) F-RBAG (side on at end of main production hangars) TK.23-07 A4M105 (54+35) at far end of line. The others parked out were two of t...

Very nice & sharp pics.

I guess the best way get an answer to your question would be to email the 158th public affairs at 158fw.pa.publicaffairs@us.af.mil

I have 75-0125 as being in on 16/05/98

No, but is a potential starting point for further investigation into their origin.

From a quick search, it started life with a RAF serial.

CFC1074 295501 CC-295 at Keflavik according ADS-B exchange (this one for RIAT ?)

Yes, it's heading south just off the coast of Skye at 16:45l

Regards, Steve

As 54+05 departed at approx. 08:25 local time according to ADSB, I presume you were there fairly early in the morning. If so, again according to ADSB, two of the missing ones were more than likely 54+41 (departed 09:45) and 54+39 (departed 12:25)
