Hi ECM,

It would be most helpful if you could say which aircraft and helicopters are visible on deck.

If this is the case I presume there were 8 on-board? As it is now in port with 4.

At the “wie/wat/waar vliegt daar” topic a flight of 2 is confirmed. Maybe only 2 left the ship, and there might be one (makes 7) Matador below deck. There is a third Sea King on board, also below deck?

Many thanks for your reply, out of interest where is this topic I cannot find it on the message boards.

I saw a photo of 6 AV8s and 2 Sea Kings on-board when they began their Baltic Mission.

Thankyou my friend. Looks like the Spanish Press stayed 7 AV8s and 3 Sea Kings. With 2 AV8s returning home, I would suggest 1 of each type below deck.
