Yes: 52-7011

Thanks!
Indeed it should be 52-7011 if this really is FU-50. However, 52-7001 is stencilled on the aircraft, probably by mistake:
The same thing was the case with another Belgian vintage aircraft at Florennes: a '0' was accidentally used on the tail of SV.4C V30. Its construction number is 1172, but on the tail it reads '1072':

Just a little help: they're not all T.1's, but also T.1A's and a T.1W (see my additions)
On Thursday, alouette III M2 and M3 arrived as Bluebird53 formation. M3 went back to Koksijde with the crew of M2. On Monday M3 arrived with the crew of M2 and both left to Koksijde again later on.

That is true. But looking at the teams website it would be safer to state that Zeus is a joint effort of the entire 115th Combat Wing at Souda. Flying crew, support crew and technical come from all units, either 340sqn, 343 sqn or SMET.
