Visiting were RTAF B737-8Z6 55-555 plus an unidentified RTAF B737-400 (most likely B737-448 99-999 and not B737-4Z6 11-111 judging from the shape of the digits).

Seen here on July 31st around 10:00 were an unidentfied (probably local baseflight/SAR flight) Bell 212 helicopter plus an unidentified Saab340 AEW.

Bennie,

The "Bell 212" is likely to be a 203 Sqn UH-1H,if it was in the grey colours. If in the brown/green camouflage, most likely a visiting army or navy example.

The SF340s are based here with 702 Sqn and there are 2 AEW versions and 2 normal transport type ones-although one of these has acquired some 'bumps' as of late.

Thanks mate! The Bell was a grey one so likely a UH-1 then. The Saab was clearly an AEW example jugding from her large 'backpack' I never said she was a visitor by the way....
