I was looking to fill a gap in my logs for the US Helicopters used to transport President Reagan & co from LHR to Central London on 7/8th June 1982.

I can only supply VH-3A 159360 "1" of HMX-1 that I saw on Wed 2 June 1982 en route to Northolt over West Drayton. Perhaps a BAR or WLAG subscriber at the time can help with the others (two?).
Additional visitors (probably connected with the visit) that I noted in Northolt on Sunday 6th evening were
(78-)23127 C-12C HQ USAREUR
96607 UH-1N 67 ARRS Det. 2
(68-)10928 CH-53C 601 TCW
(69-)5797 HH-53C 67 ARRS
(69-)5785 HH-53C 67 ARRS (in hangar)
?? VH-3A HMX-1 (in hangar)
The E-4A was 31677 in Mildenhall. Also (64-)14863 HC-130H of 301 ARRS was there.
Hope that this is of some help.
