Hi folk

Quick visit over lunchtime saw:

87-26007, 92-24671, 97-26774 HH-60 (First two departed early afternoon)
ZB134, ZB138, ZB139 Hawk Qatari AF
ZM409 A.400M
ZJ786 Dauphin (Quick visit, less than an hour)

Chinook (Tail on with the Tip socks fitted - so not going anywhere soon) Any ID please??

Just as aside the car park was packed with spotters both locals and visitors and considering the exercise is generating a good selection of movements there seems to be a REAL LACK of postings ... SAD there are so few postings!

Your Dauphin is likely to be 785 as there is no 786 unless its a new cab.The Chinook arrived as LIFTER 01 but used the CAFEAB hex so remains unidentified at the moment.

Yep you'e absolutely correct ... Typo on my behalf, thanks for correcting :thumb: ... definately ZJ785.

Would be good to learn the Chinook's identity too.

Hi all
On Tuesday 12th Sept I spent a couple of hours at Leeming.
Two Pave hawks landed,
26471 at 13:06. This was displayed on the Starboard side, (not 24671, could that have been a typo or poor serial application by the yanks ?) dare I say the photographs I took all show the serial clearly.
26774 landed directly afterwards at 13:07.
The 3rd Pave Hawk which was parked up appeared to be, 26007.
Atlas's ZM409 and ZM414 where also present.
Lynx ZZ394 departed 11:08 and returned 13:03.
Hawks ZB134, ZB138 and ZB139 were also on the ramp.
Cheers
Les

The HH-60 serials are 87-26007, 92-26471 & 97-26774, there is a typo in the above post by Off Airways.
