I do not understand one thing: I has to cost a lot of money for the AAC to have a base, in this case Javelin Barracks (Ex RAF Bruggen), open for just 4 gazelle helicopter-aircraft.
Why not Relocate the 12Flt to Niederrhein? There is a perfect helicopter ramp (Ex RAF/18sqn) on the North-Western side of the airport!
Would be a noce move: From Wildenrath to Bruggen and Bruggen to Laarbruch... ehmm Niederrhein!
Army Air Corps BAse Niederrhein
Just a hunch...
But I do hope they have found NRN now... It was very nice to hear them on the scanner (*) again.
"ArmyAir033 a Gazelle helicopter with two P.O.B just airborne from bruggen for an IFR flight to Niederrhein"
*= This is the scanner I only use on the durch side of the Border...
