Thanks Melchior!

It must have been a AB412 then. Only MM81194 & MM81195 fit the puzzle! 90-93 are of other agencies, leaving 94-99 allocated to the Army. You have reported 96 (high viz) & 97 at Viterbo, 98 was already in the hangar, 99 has been w/o '05 in Iraq.

My personal opinion makes me believe its MM81194, as if the last digit were a 5 you should probably the edges of the top side of the 5.

@ Michiel
Regarding E.I.595...we noted this one in hangar 3 on the 26th (see pictures & map above).

Best rgds,
Sjoerd

We saw MM81195 one day before at Rimini-Miramare, so MM81194 would be the one than..

Hi Melchior,
I posted this just three minutes before you posted something, so you probably overlooked it? I hope you have some more info on them :D

Hi Melchior,

Many thanks for the log! Two things:
-missing from your log is MM80630/EI-569, that was parked on the main platform.
-not in the map but present in your log are EI-553, 595, 599 and 633. Where were those parked?
Thanks!
Cheers,

Melchior / Michael (Patrol321),

Has one of you been able to look into my earlier request? Have you been able to sort out which helo's had been parked where?

I will ask Michael since he wrote everything down, I only took pictures so I don't have the complete picture where what was
Also A Bell206 was pulled out during the morning, and parked next to the two other 206's and 205 on the tarmac. On the left side the EI-code and MM-number had been overpainted, on the right another 206 was parked...
Sam as above, I have a picture of it but is not readable either.
In the mean while I have been able to sort a few out according to the situation that Sjoerd discribed. But his visit during Monday the 26th was a bit different to the situation I found on Tuesday the 27th, and I expect Wednesday the 28th again different aswell... But I still do expect the extra Bell 206 (without serial on the left) beeing outside on Wednesday, as this was pulled outside on Tuesday. Do you guys have pictures of the rightside? Hope that it still wears markings on that side...

Cheers,
Wijgert

Hi Wijgert,

I checked my photo's, I think it should have been EI-510. It is in non-standard drab green colors with black letters.

Hi Michael,

Thx for the reply. Nope, have noted 510 my self also... this was olive (USAR) drab green... the one I'm talking about is "old fasioned style" camo, don't got my digital pictures here right now... but it was parked on the leftside of the EI-518:

It was parked very close to the fence, and on the leftside the marking had been painted over.
Kind Regards / Groeten,
