No, there was nothing outside around 21:00LT.

Do you have some GPS where you can see it from my friend?

Thanks in advance,

Just go to Google Maps and search for 'cruise terminal Zeebrugge' you can't miss it from there.
For the special RIAT AV8 and the one on the back of the deck, you will have to drive a bit further left, near the entrance of the Belgium Navy port.

F105 now moored in Zeebrugge as well; no helo on the flight deck.
For L61 AFAIK there are now (visual) 2x Seaking on deck (6 & 7) plus 3x AV-8 (incl. s/c on the jump).

Difficult to get a good overview of the very high deck. Decent spots are the viewpoint on the Swedish Quay near the blue bridge, the parking behind the ABC-building and the visitors parking of "zeestation/euroservices" at quay 100-105 beyond the P&O-terminal.

Many thanks for the directions all. I believe it is VA.1B-37 from the initial photo of them painted. But this needs confirmation.

All,

A quick dash across the tunnel noted at 22:00 local time...

4 x AV8s - Codes 19, 26, Spcl, +1
2 x Sea Kings - 01-506 & 01-507

Will check the other AV8 when home.

Regards
Ben

Tonight, status is the same. The specially coloured one is coded 01-925 (photoproof!), so not '17' even though the fangs of the snake on the tail make it look like '17'.

So:
EAV-8B:
VA.1B-29/01-919/19
VA.1B-38/01-926/26
VA.1B-37/01-925 (no tail code, RIAT c/s)
VA.1B-__/01-9__/__

SH-3H
HS.9-06/01-506
HS.9-07/01-507

Excellent, so the '17' is the one at the port side, aft? Were you able to get the serial of that one perhaps as well? (I got haze and serious backlight tonight so nothing on the pics...)

A109 D-HARI (Haribo) landed about 15 minutes ago in or somewhere near the port, either sea- (yacht?) or land-side.
Someone more detailed?
