Scramble Messageboard

For the record: while involved in the fire fighting operations in Hengelo, D-101 refuelled at Deelen 3 times, D-665 once. The 2 Chinooks dropped 46 loads of water on the fire on Sunday.

Downwind, you must have seen D-101 around 20:00hrs, because it was active in Hengelo until approx 19:40hrs and returned to Gilze-Rijen, where it landed at 20:21hrs. D-665 was active in Hengelo until 20:40hrs and returned to Gilze-Rijen around 21:30hrs. Both dropped their bambi buckets at a field clo...

Both German Eurofighters departed 1002LT, followed by both RAF Typhoons at 1009LT.

Thanks!

Spitfire Mk16 OO-XVI (SL721/AU-J) departed 09.29LT.

Anyone for the departure times of the aircraft that came in yesterday for the party of 322 TACTES Squadron? Particularly the ETDs of the QinetiQ RJ100 and RAF Typhoons would be appreciated.

F-16AMs J-016/136/196/512/646 performed a fly-by along the north platform at 1544LT.

Richard, you mention Cougar S-441 as camo c/s. However, this one is in the grey c/s. So did you see another camo c/s one, or did you see S-441?

Can anybody VISUALLY (!) or by photo proof the Q-09 and also that it was coded L? Although Q-09 was indicated on adsb, a few other spotters and me thought to have visually read it was Q-19? And what about reports saying that a Durch Apache with code L should be either Q-13 oder Q-14? Q-09 was seen ...

I know the CH-47F was D-892. But there was a second CH-47D besides D-103. Have not seen that mentioned here yet - other than D-...

There are currently (at least) 2 Apaches flying with the code L underneath the fuselage: Q-13 and Q-29. Q-13 is almost impossible to read off on the tail, whereas Q-29 has a much better visible serial. There is also a subtle difference in the L: the one on Q-13 is less wide than the L on Q-29. The L...

Very nice set of images Jeroen! Makes a change, sunny shots taken on the north side of the base. It's a shame there are hardly any Typhoons left with squadron markings, though.
