Erwin, additions from my photos:

10) both TB-30s coded 315-xx
12) F-TGCH/03 (Extra 330LC flew upside down), F-TGCI/04, F-TGCJ/05
13) EC665 2030/BHW, EC725 /SA is correct and is 2461
18) AS532 2316/CGO

There were actually two AS555's, the one you mention north of the display line and one south. The one south was code WE.
The Puma dropped parachutists and it looks like code DAH on my photo, although confirmation required.

After the flyby these landed at Invalides:
EC665: 2030/BHW
AS532: 2316/CGO
NH90: 6
EC725: 2461/SA
SA342: /GBQ
AS555: 5468/VX
EC135: /JDA

NH90 1256/EAB was already there, arrived apparently on the 13th.

PdF serials will follow, read them off all 10 in the afternoon at Valenciennes.

DJ,

How sure you about the serial of the Tigre BHW! Should be the 2032. And I understand the one at Invalides was a different one than in the flypast. It was the 2030 but the one that was damaged in Afghanistan.

Where did you get that? There were only 3 Tigre's present @ Creil.

That cannot be right as they have 2004/BHK and 2030/BHW.
2030/BHW was parked at Le Bourget a few days earlier.

OK, but then his/her report is wrong. :wink:
I can understand, if they only had seen the right hand side of the Tigre, the code was difficult to read because of the armored plates.

Sorry Michiel, must have misread the code of the Tigre at les Invalides. In my defence: it was obscured by hordes of people. Sure about 2030 though.

Typhoon T3 codes BK and BP (should be ZJ811/812 seen by someone else at Evreux)
BK=ZJ812
BP=ZJ811

Not the other way round as posted in the Evreux topic!
