They ALL wore blue and white schemes at one point.
I have individual photos of them taken at Shawbury.

Thanks for the update Arthur. Were they all in the same scheme as ZE413 (dark Blue/Whte/Red trim)?

ZE410 and ZE411 were the two ex-Argie ones returned to service by Alan Mann Helicopters at Fairoaks for the AAC, ZE412 and 413 were the new cabs bought when delivered to 7 Regt in 1984/early 1985.

Silver Swallows 247.425
Jordanian Falcons 121.450
Belgian F16 268.900
Blades 121.050

Thanks. 164598 has just departed Aldergrove SE bound in the climb through FL100 09:44L (Sun 24th).

Just a note of thanks to gadwall58 for all your daily updates on these movements..... Can anyone offer an explanation/speculation on why the Islanders/Defenders adopt an "M" suffix to their callsigns when established in their "operatiional area"? Pretty obvious what they're up to (no need to dive in...

Also suggest you try:
146.025 BAF F16
118.325 Breitling
136.175 Blades
314.200 Swiss F18

Grateful for any updates/corrections for 2019

About 9 hours too late, but I got an email from a colleague indicating they used 240.000 today for a2a

Looks like Irish Aer Corps PC9 inbound IRL260, currently over Newport

There's isn't an Irish PC-9 down on the participation list, unless it's a last min addition

Just to tie this up, he actually went into Bristol. Now departed heading north over mid wales 16.50L

I lost track of him shortly after he was mid-channel between Newport and Bristol...perhaps not RIAT bound after all then.

Well said need to be merged or one deleted.

With that in mind....

HORNET2 now with 134.550 inbound (just come from the Mach Loop)

French a2a now on 269.475...presume Rafale's inbound?

ZORRO and BBMF now inbound, following RAF 100 Flypast

GRIZZLY ZM416 also inbound

Juno ZM516 c/s Shawbury 714 RTB from Yeovilton via Gloucester overhead then Ledbury 15:22L

Thanks guys. I hadn't realised that thread existed (perhaps I was thinking it was more likely to be under a Northolt section).

Thought I also read rumours that the AAC Islanders would move across to the RAF, so all seems a bit disjointed.
