That is fully correct! We saw a third one on the right sight of the hangar. Still waiting for that number.
But not sure we can identify that one from photo.

Best regards Rob.

The third Mirage in the before mentioned hangar was the 96/103-KI. The code I looked up, 96 was actually read off. These three Mirages were visible in the right hangar. The left one held 86/103-LL. All was read off around 09:15.

Kind regards,
Richard

Hi Rob,

the "worst case scenario" of spotting: someone, somewhere makes a mistake and after that, everybody starts copying it and then it becomes "the truth"... fortunately, in this case the mistake "only" is in the fake serial of a gate guard: the SMB2 is marked as "128/12-ZT", not 124...

[r.e.hendriks]

Thanks for the additions/corrections guys!!

Best regards Rob.

[falcx]

As far as I understand, the Spanish Hornet's departed for home in the afternoon.

Regards,
Charles

The Spanish Hornets returned after the morning mission, all three flew again in the afternoon.

On the 16th I didn't see the 46+33 and bogh Spanish Hornets come back. Can anyone confirm this?

Best regards Rob

[perrie]

Hi all,

besides all aircraft noted outside today I noted 5 Mirage 2000C's in the 2 hangars near the carpark.

In the right one were parked: (all with photoproof)
81/103-LB (with the nose forward)
87(....) nosecode wasn't visible
96 (....) nosecode wasn't visible

In the right hangar: (with F-GPAD parked in front of it)
86/103-L.
12. (124???)

regards, Per
