I visited this base around 4.30PM.
N-318 was at the ramp with N-195
Lucky me N-195 was about to start up and took off to a Navy ship west of Texel. It arrived back ca 5.30PM

Anyone for the serials from the current NHV Dauphins at Den Helder? I could read PH-NSZ and PH-NHY but 3 yellow not! Also one had a orange fin tip with in white 'AS365' text in it.
AW139 G-NHVC just arrived

Thanks in advance

You are right: it was OO-NSZ (not NHZ) left from blue Dauphin and OO--NHY front far left.
Can anyone confirm OO-NHV was 1 of thev3 yellow missing serials please?

I mailed NHV about the Dauphins in their hangar. Following info they gave me:
For SAR duties are OO-NSZ and OO-NHX there. So NHY was a misread for NHX.
OO-NHV is now in Rotterdam based.
The yellow ones are EC-155B1 OO-NHJ and OO-NHK both stored. The blue one in front is EC-155B1 OY-HJB also stored.
(AS332s are stored in Norway)

Other civilians I logged oct 15th:
PH-HHJ AS355F on ramp by NH90s
PH-EUJ AW139 CHC on ramp + flying
OY-HMP AW189 on ramp
PH-SHO EC-155B1 arr ca 6PM
