Also on the ramp were Tankers ZZ335 and ZZ343.

Gijs,
I think you are wrong on some serials.
The two Voyagers next to each other were ZZ343 and ZZ336 (not 335).

I agree on the Atlasses in row 4.
We did not read off the ones in row 3, but only noted two aircraft and saw one other arriving whilst on our way from one spot to the other.
ADSB showed that one as ZM408.

All noted around 15:30 hrs.
From what point were you able to log the ones in row 3?

You should be able to check Voyager movements on FR24 or the Brize blog.

The base is active constantly, so changes occur in what's on the ramp.

"You missed the ZZ178 and ZH869 in the north east corner."

Were those 2 standing in the open next to each other on the south East corner? (From East approach at the left side, same side as all the herks?
ZZ172 departed before 5 o clock.

Since ZZ336 was leading in the row of 3 and readable only from the hangars, the other 2 were 335 and 343?
Did not spot the row with zm400 etc...
