RCH 795 27/7 ( AAC Apache Delivery)

[slogen51]

09:30 First AH-64E has appeared

[slogen51]

10:30 Second AH-64E out

[POL]

US Air Force Air Mobility Command Apaches? That's a new one.

[slogen51]

11:14 Third Apache out

Three British Army AH-64E

The usual hangar doors are open waiting for them to be towed over

[slogen51]

12:31 all three still by the terminal I think

[slogen51]

12:50 I think this must be the first Apache being towed across

[slogen51]

13:08 ZM731 has finally arrived as the usual hangar

Slotted in to the left hand side

[slogen51]

13:38 Second AH-64E is being towed over

[sdad]

Were these all from the rear ramp or do they ever put the nose up these days? Missed this one yet again. Any ideas if there are more on order?

[slogen51]

All out of the nose - the Kelly C-5M is 'kneeling' is that the expression

13:58 ZM733 has arrived at the hangar - second to be towed but last out of the C-5M? It doesn't really matter but I reckon ZM733 was the second one off.

Edit : ZM733 was the last off but second in the hangar

I heard the other is ZM732

Australia just lost a wicket! 127-4

[Mike]

Any ideas if there are more on order?

Have a look at ZM700 - ZM749 :- http://www.ukserials.com/

[sdad]

Thanks both. Good, there are several more to come. Any chance of a photo showing the C-5 issuing forth please? It might be run of the mill to many but would be a real thrill for me!

[slogen51]

I just had my scope so didn't get a photo

15:10 still only ZM731 and ZM733 towed over and in the hangar as yet

[sdad]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed then! I take it the C-5 is adequately visible from Pollard's Lane.

[slogen51]

Yep Pollard's good view

15:35 ZM732 has finally arrived at the hangar

Going between ZM731 and ZM733

So looking into the hangar : left to right - ZM731, ZM732, ZM733

They are using a flat bed truck as a platform to reach the upper panels etc

[Apache123]

Which hangar is it they are prepped in? Pm me if preferred.

[slogen51]

It's hard to describe

South side second hangar down facing the road

Drive east on West Row until you get the the junction with Chapel road

52.3549429, 0.4737458

The hangar
52.3569251, 0.4790013

Good Morning
Hangar doors open 11:30 but empty.
Could they have left for Wattisham already please ?
Thanks and regards,
Paul

[Wayne]

Hangar doors open at 0810 Tuesday 1/8 and all three AH-64s visible. They have green tape over the serial numbers.
