Hi Folks
Helicopters at Carentan.
at 17:00 on Sun 9th I noted
CH-47s 15-08195, 16-08199, 15-04866 + 1 more that I didn't write down.
UH-60s
Near row left to right: 20281** xx707, 20398, 0-26271
Far row left to right: 20223, 20419, 20255, 0-26706

**20281 Everyone (including me) has logged this as 20261 which it wasn't, it's a badly positioned 8 that looks like a 6.
I was tipped off about this and walked around to the far side to check it where it could easily be seen to be 281.

CH-47s 16-08199 & 15-08466 arrived from Biggen Hill on Sat 8 June.

Cheers
Andy

Sunday afternoon around 17.30 while driving on the N13 from Cherbourg to Caen a Security Civil EC145 flew in other direction towards Cherbourg. Did someone noticed this one?

The aircraft which flew between PDF and the Breitling team was Aeronavale Falcon 50 with serial number 7

CARENTAN CHINOOKS:

First time at the Hippodrome i logged 15-08195 & 16-08200
Second time i logged 16-08199 and a few minutes later i saw three Chinooks flying in a distance!
Third time i logged 14-08168 15-08195 16-08199 16-08200

I logged at least 4 different Chinooks at Carentan.

Somebody for the three other i saw flying on the 9th in the mornig around 1000-1100 hours?

Greetings Rob van Ringelesteijn

On the 10th i passed Carentan again with 4 Chinooks on the ground:

15-08195 15-08466 15-08466 16-08199 16-08200

That makes for me 5 different Chinooks logged and photographed on the hippodrome!

Next mornig there were three Chinooks gone........

Sorry

Wrong topic!

[patrick dirksen]

Patrick thank you for the conformation.
But can someone confirm 709?
96-26709 is w/o and I believe 14-20709 is not in Europe at the moment.

Sorry, only saw this now, 709 is a typo on my side. Right serial is 706!

Hi all,

Perhaps I overlooked it but on June 7, at approx 4PM there was a DC-3/C-47 in RAF / D-Day markings parked on the grass near the terminal. I took several pictures but the view of the tail was blocked by her wing and she had no other visible markings but the regular RAF markings and D-Day stripes. She appears to be airworthey. Does anyone know her ID?

TIA
Ruud

On that day Thats all Brother was parket over there as well so it could have been that one..
And KP220 Which in fact is G-ANAF came only on the 8th ..
Cheers, Jan

I believe the BoBMF Dakota was the only participating Dakota in RAF markings.
