Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Caen Mil. 9-6-2024 VH-3D 2X

Post by janneman36 »

Whent to Caen to check on these and i saw these leaving on Saturday with a dreadfull on light :? but i was informed that they should come back on Sunday!
The weather should be way better according to the news.
So back i went on Sunday and totally worth the effort of a long drive through Normandy where i stayed to be at some events.
Five years ago the Osprey was at Caen but boy i was happy that these came back in service.
Got more coming but i have a heck of a lot of pictures to sort out.

Cheers,Jan

@woelfie The serials are 159354 and 159360 and there was another one as a backup as well but I didn’t get a decent shot of it when they moved it …
We stood there with only then people along the fence!
@AK01 Pieter they where pretty easy on photography as Biden wasn’t on it….they other days when all the officials came security was pretty serious but even then you could take good pictures :wink:
Cheers, Jan

Thanks Jan!
Do I get you right that were not in a position to positively identify the third VH-60?
