NHT Monday 15th April,
Today at 10:00Z (11:00 LT) a flight of 5 Apaches overflew here at low level having departed Wattisham an hour previously. This formation was due to depart UK airspace en route to Estonia.
The one 'pinging' on ADS-B was ZJ179 from this formation.
These should have passed through/landed in Belgium or the Netherlands after departing UK airspace.
These Apaches (from 663 Sqn) will be in Estonia for three months. See here,
https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/british ... o-estonia/
The runway here is now closed, so expect only helicopter visitors for the next 6 months or so.

These Apaches were calling HUNTER1-5
The serials as per a Nörvenich report,
ZJ179
ZJ190
ZJ192
ZJ199
ZJ230
Apparently a Luftwaffe EF2000 pilot was not impressed at the Brit crews taking photos as they were preparing to depart Nörvenich to Wunstorf today.
Perhaps he's never seen the photographers on the runway 27 approach on most days.
