Some Netherlands AF Choppers invading Carlisle

Hi all
First posting in here for me (usually lurking around “commercial” forum)
The RNethAF sent a sortie to Carlisle Airport this week doing some maneouvres at Spadeadam Range. 2 Chinooks and 3 AS532 Cougars present. I took a run by on thursday morning in wet weather and shot the following:

And the supporting cast…………

Cheers for looking.

I think the MC-130 was over Slough area on Good Friday at about 1130 but no other info I’m afraid

I saw them from my garden here in Ripon at 0955 on their way to Norwich also on Good Friday. They were:
D-664, D-666, S-419, S-438 and S-453
They returned to Holland from Norwich after refuelling at about 1200.
Great pictures! Many thanks for letting us see them,
Jim
