Okay, grazie.

The end is nigh for AAC Gazelles :- flightglobal.com/helicopters 147273
Serbian as well.

[Savoia]

Thanks Ian.

Montenegro, Morocco, Tunisia, Lebanon, Syria, Cyprus and eventually Egypt will also be letting go of their Gazelles in time to come.

SA342M 3849/CXD, Operation Daguet coded '92'

[Fabrice]

Zis was quicker than me!

Indeed, the nights could be quite chilly in the Saudi desert, according to what the Desert Storm vets told. I presume the picture was taken in January 1991 latest, as 'CXD' does not seem to sport the 'invasion stripes'. The only HOT-fitted Gazelles used in the Gulf were all SA 342Ms.

[Savoia]

Grazie mille Zis e Fabrizio! 👌

F-MAFB was a 341F, not a 342M

[Zishelix]

Zis, do you have a cn. for this craft?

Should be SA341F c/n 1046

[Savoia]

Grazie Zis e XB! 👍

This craft seems to be sporting a cover for the oil cooler intake and I'm trying to remember if I have seen such a cover before.

G-KEMD has arrived in Scotland today, Yippee !

[Savoia]

Was wondering when she might head up there as she seems to have been around Stapleford and Redhill over the past few weeks.

Do you know yet where her base will be, I think I have asked before but I cannot recall whether the matter was settled.

Historic Gaz Clip

[Rotorspot]

One of Gazelles registered in Japan on the movie set, probably early 1980's.

Anyone able to help about text translation?

The text in Japanese states something like: Film director Mamoru Oshii flew on-board this helicopter, of which only 2 examples exist in Japan, from Sendai to Tokyo.

[xbdt]

With the Google translate app, you can aim your iPhone to the picture and see the real time translation:

Land transportation of only two helicopters in Japan from Sendai to Tokyo
Director Oshii was Kodawa
Super helicopter gazelle

[Zishelix]

Thanks guys! I was hoping to find out title of the movie, but the text obviously doesn't contain such info

However, I think it's JA9164

That Gazelle wouldn't fly if it weren't for the guy with the big smile

[Savoia]

Does he still work on Gazelles now that Srpska have let go of theirs?

[Zishelix]

SA341G c/n 1072 C-GOCA heavily armed for the TV show 'Harsh Realm'. Btw, the same machine was also used for filming 'The 4th War', 'Chill Factor' & 'Sole Survivor' movies.
