Seville Airport 21 Sep

[Mike673260]

Whilst we were there did anybody see a camo AS332 with a hi viz red rescue colour scheme heading towards Moron. There was Nothing on FR24 or ADSB exchange.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Mike

Seville is always a great place to sit for a couple of days! There’s a few things to chuckle at on this thread though. Firstly, Mike (slogen51) I think you need to work out which way is north and which is south because everything you have logged appears to be the opposite way around to how it actually is. Secondly, jpickers56, I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news but as somebody (like Andy Marden) who sits at SVQ for a few days and watches the C295s and A400s get moved around regularly throughout the day, unless you can actually pin somebody down to when you were actually there or identify specific aircraft, I think you’re waving the magic wand. Each to their own obviously but I just wanted to point out that what you saw at a specific time is unlikely to be exactly what somebody else saw a few hours earlier or later.

Couldn't agree more!

[Andy Marden]

To add to the above, an afternoon visit today found that the Spanish and one of the French A400s have been put inside.
The Brunei and Kazakh 295s are now inside, replaced by Ireland 216 and Thai Army 221
Over on the north side, the larger maintenance hangar contains four 235/295.
One is Spanish, one Philippines 177. Another is in a dark camo scheme. 235 TR-KJE might be a candidate for this one, anyone know it’s current location?
There are two Canadians tucked in with the A400 prototype, being 509 and 513, so a total of 9 of them outside.

The Irish 295 has now been towed away.

Your comments raameagle noted, certainly not the bearer of bad news as clearly the situation at Seville is very fluid and as mentioned I had no optics as was away to Seville on a city break for a few days and not a spotting trip. Apart from the two stored P3's and C295W EC-101 I could not identify anything else apart from aircraft types as seen from airport terminal. So I will not be copying and pasting the above excellent reports into my log book. Previous to this thread the last Seville log as far as I can see was back in July so not really expecting to fill my boots with serials. Maybe the off chance that someone else noted the EAV.8 that was parked by the northside taxiway. However pleased the above has raised a chuckle.
On a positive note I would highly recommend Seville as a destination for a city break, breath-taking cathedral, stunning Palace at Plaza De Espana, wonderful narrow streets and steeped in history, not to mention the tapas, paella and beer.

I agree with mark also

I was taking photos from the sandy track with the sun and Airbus factory behind me so that would be the south! Sorry about that.

I didn't realize you could see behind the airbus hangar so managed to miss most of the Canadian CC295 but nonetheless still a good place to visit especially if you take civil.

Are the Canadian Casa 295 gradually being delivered to Canada or in store at Seville?

[Andy Marden]

A painted Angolan 295 has appeared between the hangars south side.
The angle precludes identification.

They have had some systems integration problems I believe.

I think the numbers that were outside when I was there on the 19th that are still outside now or yesterday you can safely take?

The Malaysian A400M probably hasn't moved and I bet 54+35 is still outside at the eastern end

Plus the Spanish A400M etc

It does sound like the French has changed as we only saw 1 A400M

Also I think the Serbian I read through the haze ended in 501 on the tail

I agree about the touristy bit which I did years ago with an ex (I took my telescope too )! The narrow cobbled streets are littered with really friendly tapas bars and plenty of Cruzcampo.

I suppose these Pillans are on the small ramp near the Maestranza entrance? Where the police helicopter is based also?
