Question Brize Norton 19th July (2010!)

Post by arrecoos »

All,

After Departures Day at Fairford we paid a visit to Brize Norton. Around 1815Lt (19th of July) these nice birds
came overhead the field to the north-west. Anyone spotted them, or has more info?

Thanks allready,

Arco

Looks like two AS.365's / EC.155's.

Can't find two helicopters with these colours in the UK civil helicopter register.

Hi all,

You have seen two out of four Dauphins of the UK Army 8Flt from Credenhill.
Serials range from ZJ780 to ZJ783. Small white serial is on the aft section of the tail boom.
These are the replacements for the old A109's.

Sorry I can't help you any further.....

Greetz,

What I think he means, and hope for you, is 2011. That means the remaining two would have been the two you saw. Or am I missing something?

So sorry for my mistake, in my enthusiasm to help I never noticed the year of the pic, to clarify 780 and 783 both arrived at Barton 18th July 2011.

Another mistake, it was 781 and 783 that arrived at Barton 18th July, 780 arrived on the 21st July, going back to school !!.
