The car park area is rather complicated, hopefully somebody gained access and can offer some notes on what was parked here, my estimate is about 80 hornets

With 6 others outside NADP hangars

SECURITY PATROLS PREVENTED ANY ACCESS(for me anyway)

with ref to the hangers the following were not noted and was an error in identification(thanks Paul for update)

AG105 should be AC105

AG112 should be AB112

AG106 should be AB106

AG107 awaiting confirmation of what it was

this error due to assuming a/c in hangers belonged to units on doors, very silly mistake to make sorry for any confusion

hopefully later today should be able to update the flight line as nearly all a/c are now confirmed from various sources , once i have the final few i will send another update

Ref the Hornets near the car park, I was able to read off the following codes from dig images taken a few rows of parked cars backwards:
AD-236
AD-303
AD-307
AD-311
AD-326
AD-332
AD-333
AD-341
AD-400
AD-402
AD-426
AD-433
plus: following unknown units:
-117
-246
-350
-404
-415
-427

I tend to believe there were 6 rows of 7 and 8 Hornets, so about 45 in total. All a bit frustrating; need to come back once more.

Can you put this is order left to right if not already done so, 117 (AD117) is far left when looking head on tail facing you
will update list in a day or so with what i have managed to find from various sources unless any one has a full list of this area

Ref the car park Hornets, sorry, I took 400 mm shots only. Left to right order would be speculating. Above is just numerical order..

Following some work done by various parties off list and the help of some of my Flickr contacts I can now provide a list for ROW1 of the "Hornets Nest" area or Car Park area if you wish

these are all confirmed except where in brackets having been seen and photographed either the week leading up to or week following the show

If any one ahs any pictures of this area they would like to share so we can try and tie down the remaining rows 2/3/4 please send them over

If any one has a full list of codes in row order please post or send direct and I will add to the reports

any chance you can send me your image(s) NTG842@gmail.com I can then see where your codes fit with what we have already or at least try to so we can put more serials into the logs ?
