Hello Cristian and Elmar,
great report. We do not get very often sightings from this part of Europe.

A few remarks and details. I assume this log is from jun10?

Can you give more details on the UH-1s. I have 586 as l/n aug94 at Bardufoss. Where at Bardusfoss did you see this one?
UH-1 serial 963; was this one complete? Together with 669 there is a relation to LN-ORW.
Situation is that the boom from 669 was fixed to the fuselage of 963 and the "complete" helicopter was sold as LN-ORW.
Maybe the boom of 963 was fixed to the fuselage of 669 and this was the helicopter you noted as 963.
Next to this you report one unknown UH-1. No idea to this one, could be LN-ORW or 584 which was l/n as instructional at the Aviation College in may06.

Saab 91 must be 324 (typo?). Serial 325 was w/o on 11jul1958.

All the AB412SP are in fact Bell 412SP.

About the MFI-15s: was 846 still in the green c/s?

Regards,
Hans van Herk

Hi Hans,

Thanks for the details and remarks, can't help any further cause we only saw the tailbooms in a shelterarea and we could not get in close. The log is from yesterday and today (8th and 9th).
And all MFI-15's we saw were yellow unfortenatly... I will check on the Saab 91 tomorrow..
The unknow UH-1 was pretty damaged and in very bad shape.. no c/n we could find on the airframe at all... story continues..
