The first seven are on the apron in front of the HAS area and positioned so as to be readable from the viewing area.
They are: 292, 289, 829, 269, 264, 247, 212.

Hth,
Mike.

Heard them and the C-130 from work, but not in a position to run to the window!
Perhaps tomorrow ...

Got both of the Black Hawks at 07.40 though.

Called in Friday at 4.50 pm
11 Gripens out
292, 289, 247, 212, 286, 285, 283, 276, 274, 257 and one twin-seater, 829.
No sign of the caravan which might suggest they had packed up and the Gripens will be out over the weekend.

No sign of the H-60s.

Regards,
Ferrari

Gripens should be visible over the weekend as parked outside

May fly Sunday as JW starts then but your guess is as good as mine !

Hi Folks

264 & 269 are the missing pair.

Reading from left to right.
292 289 829 two spaces then 247 212 286 285 283 276 274 257.

No sign of Blackhawks.

Questions.
Is this the largest single type deployment into Leeming since the French Jaguar's in 1991?
Somewhat embarrassed to need all 11 vis, have any of these visited the UK before?
Met a guy up today, said he'd been to Sweden several times yet still needed 8 of them.

Mike
