I was told there was 1 launch on Tuesday 18th, & there were 2 launches on Wednesday & Thursday.

A formation return on Wednesday with ItAF KC767 MM62229, & RCAF A310 15005 on Thursday. Both operating from Lanzarote with FrAF A330MRTT 041 on EART exercise.

Any help with the unknowns would be much appreciated.

Third NH90 was 803-16, it flew 20 October PM.

The Ala 46 hangar contained at least four Hornets on the Friday morning, incl. 46-10 and 46-14 in the most western part of this hangar (and not visible from outside the base I believe).

The French A330MRTT 041/F-UJCG made a flyby over Gando's runways on Friday evening, in formation with 3 EF2000s and 4 Hornets.

Flying on Saturday the 22nd was H215M coded 802-21. Same day saw CASA 212 T.12B-71/72-71 arriving again and C295M T.21-01/35-01 depart (had arrived late on Friday from Zaragoza).

Preserved/stored on base in between the hangars:
Mirage F1M C.14-13/46-13
CASA 212 T.12B-58/46-39

Can you confirm in regards the Ala 46 hangar.
Presume this is the large hangar right next to the sea with doors facing the south? Thanks

All hangars there are right next to the sea :D But it is indeed the one with doors facing south.
