Seville 20/09/2024 @ 2pm

[John Fletcher 54]

Read off along from Ryanair hangar were:
T21-01/35-01
T21-04/35-04
T19B-18/74-18
252
253

Near Airbus on main ramp was R-752.

Can anyone provide serials of other military aircraft read off on this date? Not yet been able to review photos but there were 5 GAF A400 + 1 FAF A400 (assume F-RBAX) outside plus 2 white C295 and another with a special marked tail from Spain. Also seen were several RCAF C295 and A400 near the main Airbus entrance.

Hope someone can tie these up.

Thanks
John

Similar request for Seville on Tuesday morning (24th, 10.05am). A non aviation trip but did see a number of A400 outside the Airbus site (most looked to be German) from arriving Ryanair…. Worth an ask just in case anybody else was around. Many thanks.

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 the test airframes.

CASA-295's parked with the A400's were-
R-752 (Angola)
CA-7107 (India)
EC-294 (white with red stripe towards base of tail-Kazakh border guard)
c/n 230 (white with no other markings)

At CASA maintenance (by Ryanair hangars) were the CASA's listed from 20th, along with Canadians 295513 and 295501-next to the two former Irish Cn235's.

295511, 295514, 295510 and 295512 were two of the Canadians parked near the main entrance.

Hope this helps, Steve

Edited to correct Spanish A400 as T.23-04 no TK.24-14

Many thanks for posting this listing. On reviewing my photos there were 2 production A400M, 3 Germans, 2 French and 2 Spanish A400. A special marked C295 (300 on tail) plus the two white C295’s, including the one with a thin red line at the base of the tail, so believe this is EC-294 and the other is (c/n 230). Unfortunately the lndian example CA7107 was not out on the Friday. I can just make out the Spanish as T.23-04 (10174) in front of the end German (54+35). The two French tie up as FRBAG and FRBAY - not FRBAX as this was delivered in June. Can anyone advise a tie up for the 300 marked C295? Here’s hoping. John

[John Fletcher 54]

Steve many thanks for your replies. EC-001 is noted as the one marked 300 and EC294 & c/n 230 are in fact two separate airframes. Cheers John

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

The all white 230 should be FA-655 for Mozambique Air Force. It was at Farnborough in July with FA-655 taped over but there have been photos of it flying from Seville with it shown.
