Thx for the log Patrick. Are you using the brackets for looked up or removed numbers?
I can confirm the P-3C 60+01 still has it’s serial.

On the 26th of August MFG5 hosted a spottersday for the 2023 Galileo SAR meet on Nordholz. With the participant list including a Lithuanian AS365 and the option to (hopefully) get some good shots of the retiring Sea Kings the decision was quickly made to register, and see what the day would bring. W...

Every s/n is self read off

Hangar Top Aces:
377 A-4N

Afaik Top Aces have no 377 coded A-4N on Nordholz. Think this should be the 337 (the "blue" one) or the 367?

Currently inbound is the 42 BLUE, a Lithuanian Air Force AS365 (according to ADSB) for the SAR meet.

Was it civil or military?

Think it qualifies as private military.

Very nice report Sjoerd, also like the background story on the RBAC!

...dit is gewoon niet om aan te zien -of te horen... :roll: Die dingen zijn ook veel te klein om een serial number op kwijt te kunnen! Zie je er eentje, dan zie je ze allemaal..................... :2gunfire: Dus een drone is dan hetzelfde als een US KC-135, is dat wat je wil zeggen? /hides

Nice set Jeroen!

BAF411 - FA136
BAF412 - FB14

According to ADS-B, currently both visible near Vliehors

The ZR285 is now also visible on ADS-B.. Can we also calculate that possible ETA?

Hope that helps

Thanks Herby, didn't have this event on the radar.

Currently in Hohe Duene are 2 Canadian and 2 Polish vessels. Although the ORP CZERNICKI has a heli deck, I would be surprised if it actually brought one. Anything known on that?

Lijkt niet anders dan het gevolg van (jarenlange) bezuinigingen. Destijds stonden op Leeuwarden Alouette III’s en later AB412’s die uitrukten in situaties als met de FREMANTLE HIGHWAY. Dan hadden we ook nog Lynxen op De Kooy. Waren er dan nu geen NH90’s luchtwaardig? En de Duitsers hadden ook niets...

Intention was to only build 2 Frigates in Bremerhaven. Kind regards. That is not correct. The first one was delivered last year, the second one on the 26th of May. The third is still under construction at Stahlbau-Nord. The fourth is being build in Alexandria. In German: https://www.weser-maritime-...
