Can anyone advise if all the Italian helicopters have been left out? Or have they been hangared? Appreciate any help. Cheers John

At the beginning of the thread the a/c we noted bring towed out suggesting that they are hangared overnight.
They were not noted outside at the weekend
Now that the 100 Sqn Hawks have gone they presumably have plenty of space now
I need them too and will need to time a visit after work

The Leeming FB group have confirmed it to be coded E.I.937, which should be MM81407.

I saw 3 helicopters in line astern formation just south of Hinckley and heading in a south westerly diection at about 1600 on the afternoon of 6th Oct 2022. Would these have been associated with the exercise at Leeming? Long shot I know!!
