After the 1st and 2nd wave a dark R44 appeared close to the airfield. Can someone confirm this was the OE-XAS ?

Yep, photographic evidence too

AFAIK there were only 7 Hornets there at that time.

I believe C.15-23/15-10 was at Leeuwarden at that time as well? It departed on the 20th and seems to have arrived on the 6th.

You’re right, C.15-18 arrived on monday. On saturday there were 7 on the platform.

I was going to ask the same question but slightly differently. Hope the following helps.
After the afternoon launch on 18th which included
C.15-16/15-03
C.15-33/15-20
C.15-35/15-22
C.15-41/15-28
There were three EF-18's left on the flightline outside the hangars. They appeared to be single seaters although one of the cockpits was partially obscured. At the time I do not think the two seater had departed. Can anyone confirm which were the three on the flightline or where the twin stick was parked? The three aircraft seen were three of the following 4.
C.15-22/15-09
C.15-23/15-10
C.15-28/15-15
CE.15-09/15-77
