Heli-sheds

[XA310]

The sheds currently contain:
Left shed: ZF558, ZZ409 & ZZ524.
Right shed: AH-64 ZJ207.

[XA310]

Wildcat ZZ388 was present in the left shed this morning plus one other.

[XA310]

The right shed was empty this morning and the AH64 had definitely gone. AH-64 ZJ178 was offloaded from an inbound C-17 this afternoon and has taken up residence in the right shed.

[XA310]

A yet to be identified Puma has taken up residence in the right shed yesterday

ZJ955 arrived Sunday and was quickly stripped down and put away.

Apache ZJ178 arrived in the sheds on Saturday (off a C17), it was pulled out the LH shed on monday and appeared to have been rebuilt.

[XA310]

Anybody know what the Gazelle was which came out of the sheds today?

[POL]

I believe a BATUS one is due to go to Canada, it was roaded out of Middle Wallop late last week. Was it in the normal green/grey or in green/sand/dayglo?

[Al dunn]

Confirmed as ZA736, one due back in a few days i believe

Confirmed as ZA736, one due back in a few days i believe

next one should be in on 30 Jun about 0600L

[XA310]

There should be a couple of AH-64s in the next week or so too.

[YellowBelly]

and a couple of lynx ah9s going out as well, busy week for the heli-sheds

[XA310]

Lynx Mk 9 ZG915 & 919 in the left shed today. Parked opposite the open right shed this afternoon were 3 x AH64's which I am told were ZJ173, 227 and 233 although I did not read them off myself.

[Skymaster]

Did the Apaches arrive this afternoon? [GUNSHIP formation].

See this thread.

[Skymaster]

Can anyone confirm the serials, please?

...perhaps they should be ZJ173, ZJ233 and ZJ227?

Note: ZJ173 was noted in storage at Wattisham, Jun2016.

[XA310]

Having seen the AH64's first hand today I can confirm that the serials are 183, 227 and 233.

[Skymaster]

Thanks very much for the info.

[YellowBelly]

Apache 233 departed on RR6694 yesterday (Wed 6th) and the other two should have left on RR6674 today at 1400L

in the LHS is the BATUS Gazelle that arrived the other day but i couldnt read the serial as the shed was locked

i suspect that will leave shortly on a low loader, if i hear anything i will post in the heads up section for the benefit of the number crunchers

next movement i know of is a chinook arriving from El Centro on the 10th July on RR6695 at around 0020z

be lucky

[paulk]

An124 currently inbound, first lot of chinooks on the way back.
