Southern quay with the loading bay to the East, so best to watch the loading from Waalhaven Oost (spot 2).

They are loading vehicles and containers at the moment. No helicopters yet, although 3x AH64 are parked at the ship entrance
For the benefit of Mr. Kite, there will be a show tonight on trampoline

Are there still some helicopters outside, or are they all loaded into the Endurance?

Did a quick visit at the Waalhaven this morning around 10.00 - 10.30 : 2 UH60's loaded onboard and 5 helicopters still outside, one of them was AH64 '550' that arrived last week. Loading of helicopters and vehicles still in progress when I left at 10.30

Correct, I can confirm that's a typo, but not by Jurgen. '020' was even in white ;-)

Hi, once more a (last) request about the markings of a few choppers. I went to Rotterdam to see the ones I missed at Eindhoven, but obviously checking the markings from the Euromast was rather difficult.... ;-)
UH-60M 11-20389 is the only Blackhawk I couldn't find a picture of, does this carry the Marne striped shield of 3 CAB?
Regarding the Apaches, anybody who photographed (or at least checked) 02-05326, 03-05384, 03-05395 and 03-05403? I would like to know whether these carried any markings and if so, which ones. And regarding the 12 CAB markings that some of the Apaches still carried, do the triangle and square stand for certain companies? If yes, which is which?
Many thanks in advance!
Cheers,

On the left side of 03-05384 and 03-05403 there were no markings.
