Some I got from photos thats posted here (if I saw them right when zoomed in :confused: )
like the Red Arrows, Tornados, Typhoon, VC10,
few of them are Static from around the field. I know I missed some 1 for example the P40 Kittyhawk, and the old WW1 planes tri, bi, and single them 6. Any help would be appreciated . Been looking on the net for any list but I havnt found any, if anyone knows of a list that'll be great. Cheers

Typhoon is actually ZK333, assuming it was the same a/c that did the practice demo on Friday, can't see why it wouldn't be!

Or was it?!

Both your Tornados are wrong - they were;
ZA365 001 Tornado GR4 15(R)Sqn mks
(ZA492) 033 Tornado GR4 no mks

Hi Viper-Mk2,

Excellent effort and full marks for trying to help us.

However, ......... don't like to be a spoilsport, but many of the numerical IDs are one digit out.

From hard experience I suspect that somewhere along the line you've use MS Excel, and dragged up or down a cell.
Depending on the settings this can have the effect of automatically decreasing or increasing the number.
When I first used it I had to redo a whole year's accounts!

Like I say, sorry to be a spoilsport and trying to help for the future, but full marks for making an effort.

Regards
J.S.

P.S. Anybody know the serial of the Apache? Theyr'e almost impossible to make unless your really close.

Viper Mk2,

Apologies - and I hope you didn't think I was having a 'pop' at you - but every time I looked back at the list I spotted another error!

JS's theory would almost certainly be right!

I know my error, I moved my list over to the next box and its adds one digit. so all on them are 1 to many digits at the end, yes I used excel, they are correct in my list here but because I moved them over they added one so they wrong on here. I should have checked, :/ my bad

I have however changed the list now to be correct :smile: to what I have
Cheers dude
