24-09-19 double chinook arrival - help required please

Post by D1scafellpike » Tue Sep 24, 2019 8:37 pm

Two chinooks landed approx 18:20 this evening as i was approaching the base (missed by seconds :( ). I'd appreciate any help identifying them please.

For the record - there were four Pumas outside, including special marks XW224. Also present was Polish AF CASA C295 "012".

Scafell,

According to my ADSB system at home, the Chinooks landing at 18:20 were ZH893 and ZA677, which flew together several times yesterday (as "Alien 1" and "Alien 2").

One of the four Pumas outside was coded "K" which should make it XW220. My ADSB system only logged XW213, XW220, XW224 and ZJ955 flying yesterday, so 213 and 955 might have been the other two outside.

Cheers

Roger
