Due to missing spare parts no MFG 5 Sea King is available and so could not hold the SAR standby at Heligoland, Borkum or Hohe Düne. The Bundespolizei (Federal Police) at Bad Bramstedt/Fuhlendorf is holding SAR at 15min. standby now during day times (5-14h z) and 60 min. at all other times until at least August 1st.
Today 2 UH-60s arrived at Nordholz. Duke14 (20-21128) and Duke52 (20-21132).
Supposed to stay until the end of the week, for SAR practice over the Northsea.
The Blackhawks left around noon today. They both flew several missions over the Northsea during this week, all in the dark, up until almost 23:00 local.
The Spieka part:
D-ENGW Morane-Saulnier MS880B Rally Club
D-IOLK Britten-Norman BN-2AB-20 Islander
From Spieka the fuselage of Starfighter 22+92 (as "26+72") was visible.
With the scheduled wfu date of the Sea King Mk.41 is coming closer, a spotterday for August 2023 is planned.
Most likely a last special coloured Sea King will appear, with that many different special colours in the past with hardly two dozen helis perhaps it will be time for a seventies retro look!
