Brize Norton, Wattisham, StanTA and Salisbury Plain

[ChrisGlobe]

Exercise Eagles Amarante is currently ongoing in the UK, the following aircraft noted taking part:

RAF Brize Norton
R212/64-GL Transall

AAC Wattisham
(1262)/DBD Puma
(1617)/DBM Puma
(1123)/DCJ Puma
(1130)/DCK Puma
(4224)/GES Gazelle
(4231)/GEZ Gazelle
ZA707 Chinook

Their main areas of operation are within StanTA, but the Gazelles have also visited Salisbury Plain.

Can anyone confirm that the tieups above, from the Scramble database, would still be accurate? I've been told the codes don't change any more?

Army codes indeed do not change anymore, as the codes are in fact the last three of the (military) F- registration. By law those registrations have to be linked to an individual plane (or something like that).

Thanks Erwin, this was most helpful!
