Any info about spotting in the harbour,ths time,is really appreciated

[WR]

Did a quick check, some 40 H-60/64 outside, mostly behind containers. Nothing was moving. Not able to read due to low clouds/rain. No last 3 in white noted.

Thanks for your reply!
So you suggest reading is possible with better weather circumstances?

[YOXA]

Can anyone tell us more about the location, number and where they can possibly be spotted?

Thanks in advance

[GIPS]

The ARC DEFENDER is still docked at 51°18'59.37"N 3°13'32.33"O (Wilhemsen Port Services)

Looks like spotting is difficult but possible at the Alfred Ronsestraat or on the other side, kiwiweg.

Any updates are very welcome

[GIPS]

ARC COMMITMENT is there as well.

Spotting from N51.318685, E3.21978, most behind containers, but when flying should not be a problem.
More visible/readable from N51.32444, E3.22808 but its not an official parking place.
