165810 is operating from NAS Sigonella, with 165738.

It came from England, as it was seen at Goodwood in 2004.
I have never traced an identity for it.
Andy Marden

It is effectively a restoration area for their museum at McMinnville, Oregon.

Andy, you around?

It is T.12B-26/72-02

The loss was on Friday, so 7 Jan 11.
It was HZ-MS16, c/n 6154.

Because they are for 3 Sqn, while the earlier machines were for 10 Sqn.

Thunderbolt,
Thanks for clarifying the situation.
Andy

Can you please confirm the top one. Should be 10801 I think.
This leaves 10905 still to delivered if my reckoning is correct.
Andy

No, it is one now at Spangdahlem that has never been positively identified.
The Sembach/Ramstein one is 52-5372, ex Spain C.5-163.
Andy Marden

The pole-mounted Kiowa is in false marks, as the real 136228 is now in Australia as VH-OSX.
It is really 136247.

Both to Brazil (civil) I believe.

No, 134 is the correct Hungarian identity.
135 is still stored at Kecskemet (as of Aug10).

Tony,
SP-FMP was stored dismantled in a hangar at Poznan/Kobylnica from Jun02-May10 at least.

Gents, These aircraft have been discussed at length on various forums. Firstly, it is important to note that there are two different operators. The 227th SOF at McGuire is one. Whether they are a "black" unit is perhaps off topic, but they are listed in the McGuire phone-book, so they are hardly try...

Cheers,

The Police hangar contained:
9A-HAG R22
9A-HBM B212
9A-HBZ B206
9A-HDB B206

9A-HBC was not present, it was detached to Zadar for the summer season.
