Anyone for the Chinook serial on the static somewhere near the NATO E-3A?
I read ZA670 (overside) departed on sunday and I saw ZA707 dep on monday, and at the end of the day monday there was another one still there! It was not on the checklist!

One of the pics at http://www.airtattoo.com/airshow/RIAT_L ... _July_2009 clearly shows it was just a truck, although a registration was painted on the plastic. If I remember correctly, it was something starting with IR, but I will try to check it on my pic.

(notes: although a serious illness made planning of this year’s UK spotting tour rather sketchy, I finally made the decision to realize a 24 hours journey to England in order to maybe experience departures of maybe the last RIAT of my life. Contrary to latest weather forecasts, the departure day was dry and also featured some sunny spells. Although the number and quality of participating was once again down to previous years, there was still enough action to make it one of the most impresse airshow departure day of the year. My personal highlights were the three Swedish Gripens, three RAF Typhoons, four Jetstreams, three Harriers, two Royal Navy Lynx and four Royal Navy Sea Kings, six USAF Hercules’ including three Special Ops versions, plus pairs of Mirage F.1CRs, A-10s, F-15s and RAF Tornados including one nowadays very rare F.3 variant. All in all a very good day!)
