If anyone who is actually in on the trade days gets close enough, could they please try and check the c/n of the Slovak Sikorsky UH-60M [which is next to the Sikorsky stand] as it is not yet known.

**with due credit to Paul Ashton, the Slovak UH-60M 7446 plate was read off and c/n 705014 FMS 18-27446 MFG date AUG 2018 **

Also if anyone has had a good close look [or took photos when it arrived] at the CASA 295 '230' [For Mozambique] is it still wearing FA-655 on the nose wheel door, as it was reported to be wearing that when seen at Seville in the past. edit...scrub this last request, just found an image and it looks as it FA-655 is probably still on the nose wheel door but covered over

Thanks

The log for Farnborough from visits on Sunday and Monday. Not everything is visible from outside, but most are except the UH.60M hidden in the chalets area.
The number corresponds to the number on the Farnborough airshow site map to help find what you are looking for.
There are civil and military but on this occasion I think I should be forgiven.

What's the current situation with the RDAF F16s?
Believe the 50th Anniversary one is still at Fairford due to tech issues.
Reading todays RIAT Departures post it does not appear to have left.
Sorry, Goose, but it's time to buzz the tower

A number of the aircraft are leaving on Wednesday/Thursday, so hopefully there will still be some of interest to you on Friday.

not going for me, bringing the youngster up... once there's a few military bits, helicopters, and a few noisy fly bys, and it occupies 2 or 3 hrs... it'll be a great success :thumbs:

Did the Air India A350 depart today thus exposing the two Italian EF2000 to a more potable view ?

At 1700 yesterday, they were visible, nose on, from behind the building at 25 Templar Ave, opposite Costco, and near Costa.

No sign of the RDAF F16s. Did they depart earlier?

Popped over at 19.30 last night by which time the place was very quiet and most of the security people around the perimeter had gone.
E-190 and PT-ZNG easily visible from Eelmoor, and could also see the Mozambique C-295 and two F-15QAs southside with a bit of perseverance.

Good side-on view of the two Italian Typhoons from the road that runs down beside FAST. Could make out most of the US stuff except the AH-64 and the
3rd F-15QA, but couldn't find any viewpoint into the Leonardo area. No sign of the Slovak UH-60from there either.

Most of the AH-64 was also visible from 25 Templar Ave.

I think it almost impossible that you will be able to see The Slovak UH60 without going into the show. It is outside the righthand side of Hall 4, looking from the airfield. It is on The Sikorsky Stand.
