A109BA H09

Post by roger4 » Wed Apr 06, 2022 9:57 am

I have a Belgian A109BA in my logs, recorded as H09. However I do not have a date/place noted for when I saw it.

I have checked Scramble's show reports for as many shows as I can remember attending including Abingdon, Boscombe Down, Cottesmore, Fairford, Middle Wallop, Mildenhall, Waddington and Yeovilton shows (but not all years for all shows are listed on Scramble). Air Britain's photo site (ABpic) usually gives good coverage of both civil and military attendees at UK airshows, and they don't have a photo of it. The only EU show I have attended was Paris in 1995, and it wasn't there.

So, does anyone have it noted in their records as being in the UK, and if so where and when please?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Roger I lost a load of info a few years ago but I have ploughed through what I have left and all I can find is a mention of it at Merzbruck on 29/6/95 with the18th regiment.If anything else turns up I will let you know

H09 entered service with he Belgian Army in September 1992 and was withdrawn from service in April 2004. I've checked 'BAR' from the September 1992 through December 1999 issues (when 'BAR' stopped publication) and have found just one mention of H09 as a visitor (not an airshow participant) noted at Manston on 2 April 1997. Sorry, can't help with the period January 2000 through April 2004.

Many thanks Mustang - I appreciate the effort. I wasn't at Manston in 1997. And I didn't realise that some of the A109BA were in service for such a short period (less than 12 years).

I increasingly suspect I have a typo in my records..........
