This Avanti departed at 16:29 LT to LIRE. It was read off on departure as MM62286. The callsign and destination would strongly suggest this airplane is now operating with 71º Gruppo 14º Stormo.

Other aircraft noted (the Puma from ADS-B),

ZA677 Chinook HC.6A SHF267
ZJ954 Puma HC.2 33/230 Sqns SHF301
ZE700 BAe 146 CC.2 32 (TR) Sqn
ZE701 BAe 146 CC.2 32 (TR) Sqn
ZE707 BAe 146 C.3 32 (TR) Sqn

BEX Monday 08th July,

From a petite oiseau this evening looks like a good time to be here. 2 French TMB-700As ( one on a short turn) and a C-12U to be seen if there are no changes.

**Edit,

84-00165 C-12U DUKE17 has arrived earlier on.

The French TBM situation has yet to reveal itself, but the following are presently active on ADS-B at 17:00Z,

111 XM CTM3888 expected to night stop
125 (XO)? CTM3*** is possibly the second TBM inbound.

Both TBMs are currently in French airspace.

Watch this space...…...

Further to earlier re the French TBMs,

111 XM approaching the FIR boundary at 17:14Z **From ADS-B 111 has landed on runway 19 at 17:43Z/18:43 L.
125 (XO) is not far behind the first one heading northwest from the Paris area. This should be CTM3810.** Again from ADS-B this one has landed at 17:55Z/18:55L on runway 19.

Le Addeur noir,

Many thanks for the heads-up. Three rather nice visitors have just gone into the book!

I can confirm by Mark 1 eyeball that the aircraft are 40165, 111/XM and 125/XO, and that the second TBM was/is "CTM3810".

The C12 and 111/XM are night-stopping, and 125/XO is just getting his departure clearance right now.

BEX Tuesday 09th July,

By now another French TBM-700 is thought to have arrived here.

This and the other French TBM here (111) should be leaving shortly after lunchtime, followed by the C-12U later on.
