Sunday 15th Dutch/french Helicopters from Cornwall

[farrell1]

Currently 4 poss 5 dutch and 1 french civilian helicopters tracking on both ADSB and FR24 down the devon coast towards (I guess) Newquay.

Imagine they will most likely route round the southern coast tomorrow morning sometime - Includes PH-HCF /H /J, PH-UNN , F-HGDE 

Something to look out for.

Farrell1 and everyone ! From near to Chivenor , I watched the plots come from Bristol and around the coast towards Minehead they were in their order :- F-HGDE , PH-HCF , PH-RIW , PH-HCJ , SP-GSC , PH-HCH and PH-UNN . From Minehead area they split , some continuing along the coast , some heading across country and others seem to land including SP-GSC which showed on plot as Robinson R44 but else where as a Bell 407 ! From my location I saw PH-RIW R44 come from Barnstaple along the river Taw towards Bideford and on south west , PH-HCH EC120B Barnstaple to Bideford and sw ,and PH-UNN EC120B tried to remove our roof (!) as it went over . Two of the others plotted to my south for a while but as seems to be the way here , plots soon disappeared . I do not know where they went nor if they could return this way . Chrisj

Saw all of the above coming from the London area,some flew just to the north of me and some just to the south of me.I thought at one stage that they were heading to the Helicopter Museum @ Weston-Super-Mare but I lost their plotting around the Bristol area.

SP-GSG had a French callsign of F-GVPH

SP-GSG (3) is now a Bell 407,F-GVPH is an R44 which used to be SP-GSG (2)
