Log Poznan Friday 18-May-2018 updated/corrected

[mm12bva]

Today was the Spotters day for the 2018 Nato Tiger Meet, lots of issues on line before hand over Tickets, access and position of spotters area

We must have been lucky as tickets arrived more or less when expected with about 10 days to go

access was as expected a long wait in line on a car park for bus transportation(in fact when they started loading buses at 08.15 it only took an hour for us to get onto base) and we were a fair way back in the line

on base position was as expected on the North side but for Us anyway this did not detract from the day

only gripe if any was there was not really enough time to see both morning and afternoon missions as second missions were late in the afternoon and everyone had to be off base for 16.30

Although for us we had already decided to leave after morning recoveries to make the Airshow spotters access over at Lawica,

so in the end everything worked out fine for us

Thanks for the excellent reports from your trip.

On the Friday, you should also have seen the massive UK contribution of Puma XW224 and Merlin ZH847, each visible during the day. Also you have Rafale 9 whereas I have photos showing 19 but not 9. Lastly, did you record the E-3 on Friday evening as 47, as by Saturday morning this had changed to 59?

[mm12bva]

Thanks for comment
Re UK items as we did not read or photo at NTM they were left out but yes we're seen
Re rafale will need to look at pictures in morning but I could have mis typed
The e3 447 Departed approx 1800 on Friday pm
Will revert tomorrow with french

[Vinny]

For the Rafale M I have 19.
Also 0222 PZL M-28-BT/PT Bryz was there but might be after 15.00 not sure about time anymore.

Vincent

[frank kramer]

Bryza 0222 arrived at 16:24 local.

[frank kramer]

If 0609 and 0820 are the winning numbers for the W-3's, two comments:
* these are W-3PL, not W-3WA
* they belong to 56.BLot (Army) from Inowroclaw and were both flying there in the Piknik Smiglowcowy on saturday 19 May.. seen, logged and photographed I would have preferred to have had an extra 2

[mm12bva]

You and me both but I think we are not going to be lucky
