Hi folk

Quick visit over lunchtime saw:

87-26007, 92-24671, 97-26774 HH-60 (First two departed early afternoon)
ZB134, ZB138, ZB139 Hawk Qatari AF
ZM409 A.400M
ZJ786 Dauphin (Quick visit, less than an hour)

Chinook (Tail on with the Tip socks fitted - so not going anywhere soon) Any ID please??

Just as aside the car park was packed with spotters both locals and visitors and considering the exercise is generating a good selection of movements there seems to be a REAL LACK of postings ... SAD there are so few postings!

Your Dauphin is likely to be 785 as there is no 786 unless its a new cab.The Chinook arrived as LIFTER 01 but used the CAFEAB hex so remains unidentified at the moment.

Yep you'e absolutely correct ... Typo on my behalf, thanks for correcting ... definately ZJ785.

Would be good to learn the Chinook's identity too.

I made a quick visit around 17:30 and noted

ZM409 A.400
3 Pave Hawks
1 Qatari AF Hawk, couldn't read the serial though, any help appreciated

Hi all
On Tuesday 12th Sept I spent a couple of hours at Leeming.
Two Pave hawks landed,
26471 at 13:06. This was displayed on the Starboard side, (not 24671, could that have been a typo or poor serial application by the yanks ?) dare I say the photographs I took all show the serial clearly.
26774 landed directly afterwards at 13:07.
The 3rd Pave Hawk which was parked up appeared to be, 26007.
Atlas's ZM409 and ZM414 where also present.
Lynx ZZ394 departed 11:08 and returned 13:03.
Hawks ZB134, ZB138 and ZB139 were also on the ramp.
Cheers
Les

The HH-60 serials are 87-26007, 92-26471 & 97-26774, there is a typo in the above post by Off Airways.
