Around 16h - 16h30 I saw passing over Koksijde the Indian helicopter team with the Druv's heading for Biggin Hill. They were flying low level in a V-formation. Anyone knows where they landed for refueling?

Thank you very much for the info. It seems that we will have some nice visitors next week. The Huey today diverted to Ostend because Koksijde was closed today :roll:

Hello,

According to Touchdown-News yahoo-group it was the 85+00. It went to Northolt after Koksijde. It will return later this week. You saw some other things at Koksijde on Monday, because I was in Florennes and I don't know what flew in Koksijde.

No sorry, I drove by at the highway back home from France (weekend holiday).

Thank you very much Otto for the heads-up.

Is there anyone that knows the registration of the CH53 that flew from the Netherlands direction France/UK along the coastline with callsign GAMN86 on Monday 7 July?

Thank you Otto. Is the CH-53 also to Fairford or somewhere else?

The UH-1D was 71+19 this afternoon.
This morning we also had a BO105, callsign GAM36HS, 87+66. Both to Fairford.

On Wednesday 27/8 a German Navy Sea King is expected through Eindhoven with destination Koksijde. It is expected at Eindhoven for an approach somewhere between 1445-1515lt, so expect it to arrive at Koksijde an hour or so later.

Have fun,
