Also ZM167/033 made its first flight 11/4/23... credit to Tally on Scramble. Assume ZM165 is also complete.

I don't think anything happened - it has been noted and went to Alaska - the list was out of date

Thursday July 13th the folowing codes were read off in the sheds:

007
008
010
020
021
024
026

Around 12:00 011 and 022 landed.

Anyone for the two which were seen in the area around 12:30? Probably landing.

Seen pictures of ZM151/017 taking off from Santiago Compostela on Tuesday morning and later I heard Ascot 7080 arriving at Marham so safe to say ZM151/017 is finally home from its Alaska deployment having diverted into Santiago Compostela back in May 2023

Noted on 17/07/2023 under the barn visible from the A1122 around 16:00 were :
007
022
024

Struggled to see where it was possible to get a view on any of the other shelters (first time at Marham since they hosted B-52's on exercise).

Just as I was leaving 2 more approached and landed from the east - any suggestions gratefully received.
