REQ: 2 x Sea Kings at Culdrose

Post by leestorer » Thu Aug 01, 2024 4:14 pm

Hi all

There were 2 x Sea Kings sitting near the dummy deck on Tue 30th and Wed 31st July.

Anyone know what Aircraft these may be?

Cheers

Brilliant info.

One of them looked like it had 03 on the side. An image on eurodemobbed shows ZD634 as having 03 on its nose. This is currently listed as with SFDO, so I guess that's one identified.

I saw XV673 in its Red/Grey c/s.

So that leaves XV696 which is also listed as being with SFDO, which I can only assume was the second out on the dummy ramp.

Appreciate your help.

Lee :-)

Confirm XV696 is indeed now at SFDO, and the record for "MAM" has been updated accordingly, thanks to this prompt!
