Northolt 06/09/2016 - 3 x US Army CH-47Fs en route

[rh226]

14.37BST 3 x US Army CH-47Fs from Ansbach AAF are en route to Northolt.

Lead aircraft ("READY55") has just crossed the coast N of Foulness.  "READY66" isn't far behind it and "READY42" hasn't long crossed the Belgian coast at COA.

No firm tie-ups for the serials exist at present, but www.live-military-mode-s.eu/ gives the following possible tie-ups:-

READY55 [AE59A0] = CH-47F 13-08437........is actually 13-08135
READY66 [AE599C] = CH-47F 13-08434
READY42 [AE599E] = CH-47F 13-08435........is actually 13-08436

Anyone able to confirm the serial to callsign/hex tie-ups, please??

Regards,

Bob

Previous entry incorrect, so deleted.  Sorry about that, chaps.

Correct serials (from the fence) are 13-08135/8434/8436 for "READY55", "READY66" and "READY42" respectively.

Thanks to Mark for the correct version.
