Looking at my picures the 622 is standing at the static, in front of the Nord, English spotters read of 622 in the flying display, so probably the 622, 627 did the displsy wirh the ferlon... SUPER FrELON

Lynx ?

One was the 627 and the other I couldn't read.

[dennisblade]

it was a misread from me, i read also 622, in stead of 627, my fault.
So the 622 flew with another still unknown lynx

F-8E "29" don't know the real number anyone?

Static Left side

F-8E 29 "1999"

Im not sure about the F-8 crusader serials, could anyone help me

Before things start to go REALLY wrong: F-8E(FN) "29" at the gate IS "29". The F-8P at the static in special disbandment colours is ship (11). For more info, see

http://www.defense.gouv.fr/marine/enjeu ... rusader__1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

and of course the great book by Jean-Marie Gall that is mentioned on the above page.
Scramble database is not correct (yet) on these two birds!

And, btw, the Etendard at the gate is a IVM, not a IVP; the -P was the photo-reconnaissance version (a modified IVM with camera nose and housing). As a matter of fact, at least Etendards "107" and "118" that were parked behind the static near the 57S hangar are Etendard IVP's.

Hi All,

Indeed a great event, with much more aircraft then anticipated.

One question left: would anyone know the Aeronavale Dauphin that came in at about 13.00??

TIA,
Marcel

[Mad Viper]

The Dauphin that was added to the static has nr 157 on its tail.

[patrick dirksen]

Thanks for the log!

Hanger 1 behind this line
Super Etendard M 46 17F

I have this as 11 F!

Hangar 3
Super Etendard M 11 17F
Super Etendard M 13 nn
Super Etendard M 3 nn
Super Etendard M 14 nn

I have 11 as no badge, 13 has a 11 F badge as has no. 3. 14 has no badge, but *should* belong to the CEV.

taxilane in front of the rafalehangars
Super Etendard M 24 17F grey colour

This might belong to 17 F, but definately carried an 11 F badge (photoproof).

static at the falcon 10 hangar
Super Etendard M 1 11F

This had no badge.

[frank kramer]

I have 11 as no badge, 13 has a 11 F badge as has no. 3. 14 has no badge, but *should* belong to the CEV.

SEM "14" is the first SEM that was upgraded to the "version 5" standard; that would make a detachment to the CEV logical. It had additional "Super Etendard Modernisé version 5" titles on both sides and a naughty nose art on the l/h side.

[frank kramer]

For now, I have one question remaining: what four SEM's flew the formation demo in the afternoon? If I remember correctly:
-there were four SEMs on the east flightline: 6, 24 (Afghanistan-grey), 55 and 69
-during the display, I think I saw 24 still sitting on the tarmac
-afaik, the display was flown by four SEM's in the "old", two-tone-grey, colours

If all these observations are correct: what were the four SEMS (or, what was the fourth SEM in the display)?

4 SEM's flying are 55,6,69 and 37
SEM 37 had a 17F badge
SEM 24 grey was towing away when the other 4 SEM's departed.

These 4 were taxiën at 16.15 LT towards Rwy 26.

Do you have some more informations about the upgrades? (how many will be updated, which version have the other aircrafts ...)
