thanks to the Scramble forum I can add some data to this

the Norwegian FA20s are 041 & 053
the Polish F16s are 4065, 4071 & 4086
the Spanish F18s are C.15-31, C.15-37 & C.15-38
the Turkish have an error on the plans - probably due to a late change on the original aircraft going to Lechfeld. All are confirmed except 731047 which was replaced by 770298

other participants for the Exercise were 3x Tornado GAF and 5x Tornado RAF - see the Scramble forum for serials and further info on Exercise Elite 2010.
