The Below were seen during a brief 15 minute stop between Hamburg and Hannover yesterday

A400's (all prefixed 54+)

03, 04, 05, 07, 08, 09, 10, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 31, 32, 33, 36, 42 nd 46 and three that went begging including one with what looked like the 60th Anniversary stickers on the tail.

also seen but not read off was a Tornado and an C160 Transal

With the A400’s I can’t help, but the Tornado is GIA, 43+13.
The Transall is marked L+LX, and real serial is 50+60. Also some sort of GIA aircraft.

Thanks for that.

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)

Thanks for that, no we were there in the evening after 54+05 returned. We didn’t hang around for long as we had a flight to catch from Hannover to Toulouse for Civilian liners.

It may be of use for others to know that Volotea are operating a Thursdays only Hannover to Toulouse evening flight at a fairly cheap rate allowing both the Airbus factories to be done on consecutive days.
