Another Chinook possibly ZA720 has just landed at Leeming, should now be 3 Chinooks at Leeming.

What I can confirm that 3 Chinooks were present when I arrived late afternoon, with not enough light left to even identify the 5 QAF Hawks parked out there.
According to ADSB, ZB131, ZB133 and ZB138 departed 1/2 hour later, and also ZA720 showed up on ADSB.

ZB134 & 139 should have been the other 2 Hawks that were on the flight line late afternoon.

Hello and thanks for the feedback first of all.
Having been on a biz trip with little time, and not with all proper spotting tools, I only took a few minutes, relying on my camera, which possibly has an isue (or the lens). So, lack of light wasn't the only issue as it seems now. Even cecking the photos on a proper screen back home gave me barely any result for the 5th, but a little better on the 6th just before 9 a.m. --> see there.
On the 5th, ZB134 could be the one parked on the righ tend of the flight line (see from viewing area), but with huge question mark. ZB133 might be the one left of (ZB134?), also with big question mark. 3rd from the right looks lik eZB132 on some photos, but it is obvioulsy neither in your notes, nor in the ADSB logs I find for that day.
