Are the helos and Matadors visible from outside?

4 (according flightplan) Harriers flew back to Spain (Torrejon) yesterday with callsign AME8616.

Yes, they are.

Hi ECM,

It would be most helpful if you could say which aircraft and helicopters are visible on deck.

If this is the case I presume there were 8 on-board? As it is now in port with 4.

At the “wie/wat/waar vliegt daar” topic a flight of 2 is confirmed. Maybe only 2 left the ship, and there might be one (makes 7) Matador below deck. There is a third Sea King on board, also below deck?

Many thanks for your reply, out of interest where is this topic I cannot find it on the message boards.

I saw a photo of 6 AV8s and 2 Sea Kings on-board when they began their Baltic Mission.

Thankyou my friend. Looks like the Spanish Press stayed 7 AV8s and 3 Sea Kings. With 2 AV8s returning home, I would suggest 1 of each type below deck.
