Has anyone noted this frame in the last 12 months or have any idea where it is?

I feared as much, was thinking Cyprus perhaps. Thanks very much.

I caught ZK550 on SPTA on the 17th August '22, looked nice and clean.

ZK555 went over Worcester earlier this afternoon, having left Shawbury with the two USAA MH-47Gs, does anyone have the serials?

Just seen this post

I was at Odiham on the late afternoon of 9/9/24 to catch the two MH-47

Is the 7 Sqn hangar the one you can see from the domestic quarters?

There were three or four RAF Chinooks there at that time but I didn't/couldn't read any off as I focused on the MH-47 and i need ZK555!

Also need ZK557 - where is that?

Yes the 7 Sqn hangar is the one visible from there.

Thanks

I suspect ZK555 was in the line up on 9/9 but they were all blocking eachother out apart from ZA710 which taxied off to leave a good view of the front MH-47

Unfortunately although you saw 555 on 10/9 I can't be sure ZK555 was in there on the 9th

You could try the playback on adsb for 8th, 9th and 10th
Ads b nl and Radar box only list recent activity back to 11th for ZK555
It looks to be flying regularly from Odiham
