ZH900 Chinook HC.5A (18 Sqn) PEGGS2 arr from EGVO dep 23rd as RFR7179

The serials from ADS-B, as are the Apache serials listed below,

ZJ197 AAC443

These may be formation lead aircraft only, with others not 'pinging'.

These choppers have all departed in the morning of the 23rd prior to 09:00Z, and are en route to 'the east'.

It will be interesting to see if the Apache serials are correct to ADS-B, should they fuel stop somewhere where spotters are present.

ZH897 and ZH900 are HC5s. There is no such thing as an HC5A.
