[D-HECT] H135 all yellow with red arrows on top and bottom (on the ramp)
[D-HMBE] H145 overall dark grey c/s, towed into C9. This is a military machine with some special equipment. Still incomplete and missing several parts. Beside were several boxes with "SN20177" on it so this might be the c/n. As I have still a gap in my production list for 20177, this should be correct. It`s just a guess but it could be the first aircraft for Serbia.
--- H135 this overall dark grey and unmarked a/c was towed over the ramp. Had a special antenna on the tail.

85+03 CH-53G Lw/HSG64 engine test
D-H... H145 ... a black or dark grey H145 performed an approach as "Redfox 18" while I was still on the road. It continued to Augsburg afterwards, so I will have a look there.
[D-H...] An H135.. was in the western area for an engine test. Overall dark grey c/s, so probably another one for German military flight trainig at Bückeburg. C/n readable on open boom, but only three digits: 12.3 (the third one was blocked by a wire...) Disappeared int the hangar before I could finally check it.
[D-HADA] H145 REGA f/c, engine test. C/n 20212. Future reg overtaped but almost readable under white sticker: HB-ZQH (maybe ZOH)
D-HADX EC.145T2 Airbus prototype (c/n 20001). Inside hangar C9
[D-HMBB] EC.145C2 Gendarmerie f/c. Code "JBU" overtaped, but readable. This should be a new one for the french Gendarmerie, but was reported as an old, undelivered airframe (c/n 9700). I can`t confirm this by now.
[D-HCBR] H145 Saudi M.O.I.
[D-HCBZ] H145 ADAC f/c. The newest bird for ADAC had its future reg. D-HYAQ already painted on (but only overtaped on the starboard side...). C/N is 20207. Testflight as "RDF14"
[D-HMBE] H145M Serbian AF. towed out of C9. Just returned from ILA at Berlin where it was used as a demonstrator for the military H145 with full equipment. Testreg no longer on a sticker, but painted on. But no Serbian markings applied so far.
[D-HOUR] EC.635T2+ still in Iraqi AF c/s. Rotors were in a box nearby. Later towed into western area.
D-HTSC EC.135T3 Airbus testbed, primer c/s. c/n 0832

74+34 Tiger UHT Heer (maintenance visitor); engine test
74+70 Tiger UHT Heer (inside hangar F8)
79+31 NH.90TTH Heer (still under construction and missing several parts). Towed over ramp.

[D-H....]/MOI-70 H145 Saudi M.o.I., inside C9, german test reg. not readable (c/n ?)
D-HDFU Bo105CBSW-5 Airbus (c/n S-206). Local flight as "Redfox 25". Finally a sign of life from this bird!
D-HRTD H135T3H DRF (c/n 2044), arrived as "Redfox 12". Obviously here for maintenance or modifications since already delivered.
D-HTSC EC.135T3 Airbus testbed (primer/c/n 0832). Local flight as "Redfox 10)
HB-ZWI H135 towed into production area. Still under construction but future swiss registration already painted on. No german test reg. so far.
.... a totally stripped H145 in the colours of the Saudi M.o.I. was furthermore noted inside the small hangar next to D10. No Saudi serial nor german testreg was applied, but there was some equipment marked with "20190" around it so this might be the c/n.
Furthermore a Serbian H145M is inside hangar C9. Most probably D-HMBE, but not readable this time.
