159350 was a good one for me - don't know if it has been over before?

I also made C-17 09-9205

Afternoon,
In addition to the above visitors, I made a note of the 67SOS MC130's as I still need a couple, slack I know.

There were 6 on the ramp as follows:
13-5786
13-5778
12-5757
11-5737
12-5760
Plus a mispole of 5713?

Is anyone able to enlighten me as to the correct serial please? In my defence, I was in company of a trunky wife and 2 small children who for some reason don't understand my hobby!

Thank you anticipation

[Tiger 1]

Think that would be 09-5713.

T1

[Duncan Morley]

T1 Thank you kind sir, not sure why I didn't find it in my previous search, age I suspect

It's a new one to the 67th SOS arrived about a month ago.

How did I miss the above VH-3D?

I was at Northolt that day where I logged
89-0143, 87-0073, 88-0101, 88-0104 CH-47D
96-26681, 96-26674, 96-26677 UH-60L

All part of another presidential visit

[Off Airways]

Maybe because it was not operating from there? (Northolt) ... I also noted it INSIDE the "Base hangar" at Brize later that day.

... and after checking the UH-60's and CH-47's you noted ... 96-26681 was also at Brize!
