This is my rough log from the 1st of June, I could use some help to identify the RAF Voyager and the 3rd Eurofighter on the flight line at the end of this wednesday. Any help or addition is very welcome, Thank you.

The RAF Voyager is the one that will become ZZ343 some time in the future. However, when it flew up to Berlin, it was still flying under a Spanish hex code [344448] using callsign "AED329" and, of course, it is still using its Airbus MRTT... "serial" - so, still with Airbus.

Sorry I cannot be more definite about its current identity and status, but I hope that the above will be of some help to you.

Hi

I was there on Friday 3 June.

I couldn't read the serial of the TLG 74 EF2000 in the flight line but have a reasonable photo of the tail showing cn GS0033 which should make it 30+48

I was still in the area on Saturday and would really appreciate it if some knows the flying Germans from Saturday.

Mike

Many thanks guys!

Just realised I didn't log tiger 74+53

Can you remember where it was? I have a feeling it was the one that kids could climb in and visit the cockpit etc

@slogan51 I think it was the Tiger inside the Bundeswehr tent but I'm not 100% sure.

Tiger 74-53 was in the line of helicopters of the Bundeswehr on the static on Saturday. The tiger you could climb in was 74-06. Tiger 74-03 was together with EF.2000 31-38 in the tent named Halle 3.

Cheers

I saw 74+03 in the hall . I must of seen 74+53 in the static line - that will do for me!!

(Did gatow on Sunday - some of the storage hangars were open)

Hi

Thanks for that posting. A similar one appears on Touchdown care of Johannes Schages.

I have made a mistake in an earlier posting about 30+48 having read the Johannes list and reexamined my pic I can see the cn is GS00053 not 33 so that does tie in with 30+72 (which I'd did log on Friday morning when 31+07 and 30+87 were displaying) but I did not note the unit! 30+72 was tlg31 at Fresian flag 2016.

So 30+72 TLG74 not 30+48 (which happened to be part of the flying anyway)

Hope that is clear as mud

Sorry

Just a minor point, Chinook ZH893 is a HC4! There are no HC2s left in RAF service, they've all been upgraded.

*Edit, it's also RAF not AAC!

Hope that's helpful
