From the code ranges, actual units should be
113/30-IR
136/30-GO
EC02.030 Normandie-Niemen
The other 2 EC01.004 Gascogne

HTH
PS if the crews are selling patches etc which show a different unit I stand to be corrected!!

On Saturday 16/4 - 3 rafale's returned from an outing at about 12.15 pm along with some Typhoons does anyone know which three these were ?

I believe one was out of action at this time.

Any help would be appreciated ( as always, when 4 of a type arrive at Leeming I only ever get to see 3 !!! )

Thanks

Garry

To all who have posted serial info on the Rafale`s and the NOTAM for the opening times, i thank you. Very useful info.
A good 2 weeks of flying and Friday was a very nice touch by the French, saying au revoir in their own special way! Very very nice indeed.

First pair took off turned eastwards then turned back over the airfield, dropped down over the HAS`s and came screaming right over the viewing area whilst banking to their left. Any pictures of this would be welcome on here!
Second pair did the same but came a little higher and gave a wing waggle to say bye.
A few wing waggles from Typhoons and a performance take off.
Made for a nice goodbye.
