Any idea if the Gazelles have already returned to the UK or when they intend to do so?

Hi Koen,
I saw a report from Shawbury and there where the Gazelles from Javelin Baracks so they are already in England.

To be more precies: arrival at RAF Shawbury was at 17/03/09. All made a fuelstop at Middle Wallop and Koksijde:

XX371 AAC031
XX386 NERO form
XZ291 AAC034
XZ295 NERO form

In the end, 12Flt had only 4 pilots, enough to ship them all in 1 day to RAF Shawbury where all four Gazelle's are stored for the time being.

AAC,7 Regiment will also be disbanded by the end of this month,so the number of Gazelles in store at Shawbury will increase by nearly 30.

Thanks for the info guys. I knew at least one visited some Dutch bases after their farewell formation flight so was wondering if that was a last visit. Guess it was!
