Just for the record:

From a PM I received it would appear that the ones I saw from crash gate 6 in the 207 shelter are the same ones you can see from the 'hill' - I didn't realize that you could see the eastern sun shelters from half way down the hill but looking at Google satellite view that would appear to be the case?

So only eight outside after all?

Actually while we were there an F-35B was being towed so could be 9 outside.

Saturday morning , as above six visible

From right to left from the hill I make them : 019, 014, 021, 018, 016, 013 all in the same shelter

006 and 012 in the other shelter are no longer visible

( And they are the same line that you can see from crash gate 6 in the 207 Badged shelter - I didn't realize it was those same shelters you were looking at by walking down the hill)
