F35 towed on 26-4-17

Post by Tiger 1 » Sun Apr 30, 2017 10:22 am

Mods please remove if you feel the need...

I have already posted a request for help in the F35 section but thought a little more coverage here might help my chances.

I was down on the 26th for the F35s and after the afternoons sorties were scrubbed a F35 was noted being towed down the taxi way up near the 24 end HAS site.

I'm pretty sure it was not one of the ones that had flown or was scrubbed on the day.

With quite a lot of people present on the day I was hoping one you guys may have seen it also and managed to read it off, sadly for me, it was tail on so no chance of reading the serial.

Many thanks inadvance for your help.

Hi Will24

Thanks for the reply :thumb: ...that is possible... just can`t believe, with all those people there on the 26th, nobody else saw it and read the serial off.

From where I saw it tail on, it must have been pulled out one of the HAS shelters near to the last chance 24 end where F15c 019 was parked up.. None of the F35`s had been parked up or shut down during the day that far up the taxi way...pretty sure it was one of the none flyers on the day either 5096 or 5102.

So the next question would be...which F35s were on the press day on Friday 28th?

Thanks again Will24 your help is very much appreciated and if anyone else can add further to the mystery, it would also be very much appreciated. :thumb:
