I don't believe mention has been made in this thread of a Gazelle shell/front fuselage in deep maintenance on display in the hall next to the control tower. Its c/n was 1936, so according to the Scramble database that makes it SA342L CN-ACM. The dataplate had 'CV' in the bottom right-hand corner, but I'm now assuming that has nothing to do with its serial/registration.
The officer at the booth said this was already the second 4,000-hour 'visite majeur' the Gazelle was going through.

We logged 2 AS355s on the Friday but noted 3 on the ground early Saturday of which 2 departed around 0730. Did anyone happen to identify the missing one?

Hi All,

The missing MB339 from Frecce Tricolori is MM54514/0
I noted 8 CAP232's from Marche Verte on the flightline on the 28th, anyone for the serial of the spare CAP232 which was uncoded?

Best regards,

Hilco

Morning,

On Wednesday 27th all eight were confirmed being towed to hangar. All coded ones confirmed as per previous excellent report and uncoded aircraft was CN-ABW. HTH

And thanks for Frecce code "0" as was sole gap. (Except for three Magisters on poles and a Broussard!)

Regards
Rick

Also some small gaps in the log for the hangar (not opened for public).
Still a AS202 and some Caps are missing.
Anyone who logged the AS202 Bravos and Caps inside the hangar?
