Hello Erwin,
I was there in the afternoon and arrived at about 13.30. 146059 was outside when I arrived and was towed into F8 shortly thereafter. It disappeared in the second or third door from the left.
Did you see anything else compared to my log from PM?

Rgds,
Alex

Hi Alex,
Some additions as requested for 31-05-2016 until about 11-ish, we were quite fanatically peering at the German Tigers obviously, for us these are still new & therefore interesting

In/around hangar 8:
74+31, 74+54, 74+55 (out), 74+56, 74+57, 74+58 (shortly out), 74+59 (the latter not read by me) all EC665 Tiger UHT
78+37 NH90-TTH visible through open door along with one ending in 5
84+62, 84+94 and 84+43 were additional CH-53GS in the hangar
C-06 H135 Carabineros de Chile 1228 no testreg

D-HE__/03 H135 JA161T blue with gn/rd stripes
D-HADP H135 Polizei sv/bl
D-HTSC H135 Airbus Helicopters 0832
LN-OOB H135
D-HADQ H145

Apart from D-HCBB there was another one of these bright yellow (brighter than ADAC) ones with cable cutters inside the EC135 flight test hangar.
Also an Australian was shortly visible (before I arrived) in the east side client/delivery center hangars.

I missed D-HADL. It had been seen at Ingolstadt in the morning along with two Thai Army ones (HADH/HCBT). Of these, HCBT flew and HADL too, but went to Donauwörth (when I was at Ingolstadt), it was hangared when I got back at EDPR until after lunch. It apparantly came out again to return to Ingolstadt.

Well, you can't have them all

Many thanks Erwin, Egbert and Eric for the additional sightings!
Erwin, the full testreg for your japanese one JA161T is D-HECU (source: a picture on Flugzeugforum.de)
The Carabineros one is nice! One for me for the next time to hunt for...
I think the imagination that you are standing at the wrong place no matter where you are knows every spotter... You can`t have them all as you said!

Regards, Alex

Hi Alex,

One addition after you departed was Luftwaffe EC645 76+07 in full markings on a customer acceptance flight.

Regards

Chris

thanks Chris and Roosens for the update.

Could you perhaps confirm the testreg for the JA161T (HECU or HCBI?)

Cheers, Alex
and many numbers in Illesheim...
