Did anyone manage to read the Apaches off whilst they were at leeming please?
I've seen an image of one of them on FB clearly readable in good light as ZJ189, so that was at least one of them!

Hi,
2 Chinooks flew low over Wakefield at 20.10 heading south west. ZK559 was pinging anybody for the other serial?

Thanks for any help

Regards
Mike

Hello,
ZK553 noted into Cardiff with ZK559 on UK Heads up thread
Still hoping the identity of the third Chinook at Leeming can be identified

I note the Jolly 11flt ( 3 x 56RQS HH-60G's) departed Lakenheath on Friday afternoon around 1615-20 give Leeming as their destination
can anyone confirm they are still here? as it would save a trip if they have moved on

The Pavehawks are there for Cobra Warrior, although some people have questioned that! they are staying for about 3 weeks at Leeming. I suspect they'll hit Spadeadam at some point too, its too good a place to miss.
