Does anybody Know where they where loaded onto that ship. as it looks to me the ship they are on now isn't a sea going vessel. does anybody know with what sort of ship they arrived and where they arrived before they where loaded onto this ship.

The Helis were already offload today! All were visible from outside. Helis are parked between the TWR and the main hangar.

Most likely that would be either Antwerp or Rotterdam. The cargo would be aboard a vessel belonging to the US MSC (Military Sealift Command).

If you look to the route via Tholen, Willemstad, Dordrecht, I would say they are shipped from Antwerp.
This happens a lot of times in the past...

If the cargo was due to disembark in Antwerp, and forwarded to a base in Germany, I would choose for the: " Rijn Schelde kanaal."

Arno,

In your layout you have 24436 and in your serial resume 24438. Which is correct?

Mark

Hello Mark

The 8 is the correct one. Just changed into a 8.
Yesterday I received a message telling me that the 6 must be a 8.

best regards,
Arno Cornelissen

Very good report, guys.

By the way, the ship travelled with a speed of exactly 9.8 km/h upwards the river Rhine. So if you see another ship with helicopters in the future, please post the time and the location where you have seen it, and everyone can calculate with this speed and should know its position!

Hi,

According to this info on flugzeugforum.de, again a ship with UH-60s underway to Rotterdam.

Besides, but bit off-topic here, there is currently a boad enroute to Rotterdam from Coleman with USArmyEurope helos on board.

Finally, in 1 week, the AK ARNG UH-60s will return back home via Coleman.



Anyone more info?

Regards,

Maurits
kind regards,
