Shrieking Gazelles

[Savoia]

I may even get one of those seeing as they have titled themselves in Italian this year.

Nice one Zis! 👍

Owned by Leonard Matchan who at the time also owned the island of Brecqhou in the Channel Islands, hence the emergency floats.

Grazie Jos! 👍

I think this aircraft has been owned by Peter for sometime now. Perhaps it was registered to a company before?

[Savoia]

I think that blue scheme from 2019 was one of their best.

Okay grazie, I wonder what the total number is and also where these Gazelles will be going. We did report some years back that these aircraft would soon be decommissioned.

[Zishelix]

There is sentence in the article: 'This helicopter is one of a total of 13 Gazelles at the disposal of the Ministry of Defense of Montenegro, which are all grounded and not used for more than four years' but it's not quite true.

[Savoia]

Prego Zis! If we could just find out what is happening to the remaining Montenegrin Gazelles, that would be good, perhaps Fabrizio knows?

Do you know how many Gazelles in total the Montenegrin Air Force had?

'...12943 (163) is to be donated by the government of Montenegro to the Museum of Military History in Pivka, Slovenia.'

Thanks for info, Sav!
