Re: Ship with Blackhawks

Finally managed to see them in Antwerp harbour. Exact location of the Dynamica this morning was +51° 16' 43.01", +4° 13' 6.57". From the other side of the water the vessel can easily be spotted. First cars were being unloaded at 6:45.

Thanks to all in solving this puzzle. Next time I'll try to provide more detailed information!

Hello,

At 10am the vessel was empty. No sign of the blackhawks. I gues they are inside.
I saw one on deck at 9.45am.
The best lokation to see unload the vessel next time is near harbour 1620, GPS 51°16.446'N, 4°14.613'E

They started unloading the Blackhawks at 08.30, and all blackhawks were parked in the large warehouse, within an hour all were gone.

Hello Rene,

I know for sure which was the last one to be unloaded, the winning number is the one which had 438 on the nose.

kind regards,

Hi Jeroen,

Could it be this location where the Blackhawks were unloaded?
51°16'12.63"N 4°14'13.72"O

You can notice the "H" mark on the concrete. Furthermore, there are some army vehicles parked there (google earth).

FYI,

Yep, it was the one on starboard which was the last one to be offloaded. I waited for the middle one to be offloaded, because that one was impossible to read (and almost nothing to see from that one), the way the ship was positioned during offloading.
