Hi Brian,

The KC-767 arrived/departed on the 30th August, so not sure what you thought was him?

Only the one Shadow movement today so ZZ416 R1+ looks to be the one.

Your E3s (or whats left of them).
ZH101 - parked down the southern end.
ZH105 (emergency trainer) parked a bit further north than 101.
ZH102/ZH107 parked behind the Tornados

Sentinels are N693BD/N690BD - I think the latter was towed to Alpha hangar yesterday so 693 will be the one still out (has a red bar on the tail).

Hope this helps?

Mike

Thank you Mike for the reply. As you looked at the Typhoons and the tailless Sentry from the A607 there was an aircraft that looked like a 767 parked on the right towards the trees, i remember it had the radome supports on the roof. Yes the Sentinel had a red stripe, it was nose on to the main road. The shadow had a serial which ended in round numeral, it was parked nose on outside the hangar all morning, 416 was on FR24 as departing at teatime to BFS so thought it likely.

Regards

Brian

So as you look towards the Typhoons, there are 6 in a line, with ZH101 pointing Northish to the right of them, minus its 'dome' and then ZH105 (minus pretty much everything) is pointing towards you - can only think that your 767 was one of these two.
