LN got the Raptors, SP got the Ospreys. Yesterday 3 US Marines MV-22B Ospreys of the VMM-263 New River, NC arrived. Numbers are 168333/EG-07, 168293/EG-04 and 168337/EG-08.
Also the Mildenhall based CV-22 11-0061 aka KNIFE71 showed up. The weather wasn't the best but I hope you still like the pics.....

These ones are indeed from Morón, tenporarely based over there. I don't know how often they swap the airframes there...last September there were EM coded VMM-261 MV-22's.
