The five in static at Les Invalides were , Codes :

JDL EC135 Gendarmarie
322 AS365 Marine
SK EC725 Caracal AdlA
BJP tiger AlaT
EBB NH90 AlaT

I read all except BJP earlier on the flypast ( I must of missed BJP somehow??)

[slogen51]

Thought I would kick the choppers ball rolling while doing nothing at CDG
Scramble say 30 choppers but I only got 27 codes plus tiger BJP in static

Cheers

Clearly CHC not DHC for the puma

[plmc135]

Just for completeness, it is Bastille with two l's not one.

Et vous parlez parfaitement le francais, oui ou non? Incroyable!

Mais oui mon vieux, c'est mon deuxieme langue.

You are missing Puma 'DAR' which was with Gazelle 'GFB' and Tigres BHJ / BJJ.
Also Puma listed as 'GGF' is a Cougar coded 'CGF'.

[Kurnass]

“GFT?” Gazelle was GET

[Kurnass]

Anyone for the Xingu’s?

[slogen51]

thanks for the extras and corrections

the Fennec now its been pointed out is VS under closer inspection <<

The Army came through so low and fast my little old D3300 couldn't cope

My photos of the first part - jets and props - agrees with Scramble (surprisingly to me at least)
(the C-160 looks like R237 which dont exist so will be R-217)

Having looked at my photo again the Fennec is definitely WB not VS as mentioned by scramble

[StevenR]

I can confirm the C-160 as R217 '64-GQ' from my photo of it.

Also confirm that Fennec coded 'UX' was one of two loitering over Les Invalides during the morning.

[slogen51]

The extra 300 were F-TCGJ and F-TCGI according to my shots

At various times you could see 4 Fennecs over Paris including VT and UX
