Second military visitor of the day was....

90-0528 C-26D Metroliner US Navy CNV6405 arr 14:11 from EGUN dep 15:58 to LIRN

And as the sun set three more visiting RAF choppers arrived at 18:15. From ADS-B the two Pumas should have been ZJ955 and ZJ956. The Chinook still needs to be confirmed.

Update to follow.

The C-26D although arriving in the UK from NSA Naples (LIRN) is, going by recent flights tracked on ADS-B should be operated by the Sigonella AOD.

The Chinook and Pumas are still subject to visual confirmation, but this is what the electronic feeds suggest the serials are. It was too dark to read the serials when these landed.

Watch this space for further updates....

Looks like a VVIP move of some sort going by that callsign, a nice change to get a formation like that at NHT really.

Members of the Royal Family visiting HMS something at Portsmouth. Most probably the second aircraft carrier.

Edit, The Ukrainian President visitong HMS Price of Wales.


About half a month's military visitors in one go.

Now the fuel restrictions have been lifted for visitong military aircraft, hopefully there will be an increase in these visitors.
