This heli is the one stored near some Polizia trucks south of the Polizia hangar seen from runway? On GE I see it there and saw a wreck at this position during my basevisit April 26.
Yes this is the one next to the hangar near some trucks.

Somebody told me there was also a Frecce aircraft with code 11 in the display on Friday and there was one with code 11 left on flightline (MM54479).

Who can confirm there were 12 Frecce aircraft on the flightline, including 2x number 11?

Frecce on flightline:
MB339A PAN/MLU
MM54482 / 1
MM54514 / 2
MM54518 / 3
MM54538 / 6
MM55053 / 7
MM54551 / 8
MM55059 / 9
MM54517 / 10
MM54534 / 0 spare
MM54479 / 11 spare
MM54477 / 12

Can you confirm this one Hans?
I couldn't read it from pictures and "Scramble database" says MM7276
I have seen the photo. 100% MM7275, no doubts.

And also behind the big hangar was PD808 MM62016 (special c/s) and a little to the west P166 MM25157 (UN c/s) and PD808 MM61958 (mentioned by Hans). All 3 seen and serials read on Saturday.

Most likely we got it wrong, but still a confirmation of this one would be appreciated, we read one as the 72-21.

On Saturday we noticed from the abandoned cinema that a Eurofighter with 4 Stormo and RSV markings was towed from the flightline to the RSV hangars. On Sunday the empty spot on the flightline had been filled with CSX7352/36-55 with special RSV tail markings. Could someone please provide the serial of the aircraft towed away on Saturday?

MTIA,

Hi Joris,

I'd suggest your Eurofighter would be CSX7338 - this one (4 Stormo and RSV marks):-

I photographed it on the flight line Friday late afternoon/evening.

Thanks Mike for your reply. Unfortunately that is not the one. There were four EF2000s parked on the flightline on Saturday early afternoon: MM7289/4-5, MM7341/4-66, the one I am after, and CSX7338/4-60, the latter also wearing both RSV and 4 Stormo markings. By Sunday morning, my missing Typhoon had been replaced by CSX7352/36-55 wearing colourful special RSV tail markings.

Regards,
Joris

They had towed MM7288/4-40 to a position in front of the flightline near the other eurofighters on Saturday afternoon. This should be the one you are looking for. Cheers John
