    Elipix, I think we've discussed this before but I cannot now recall the outcome. This craft is listed (with Jos and other databases) as 1102, yet the CAA have her construction number as 1098. Confusing.

      Problem is that the CAA lists both G-BZFJ and G-WDEV with c/n 1098. One must be incorrect.

      I think there are two with the same C/n due to a factory muck up ! Apparently it's not the only one and it also happened on a few Lynx's..

      My take is...
      WA.1098 is G-BBHW, G-IZEL, G-WDEV
      WA.1100 is XW860
      WA.1102 is XW861, G-BZFJ, UR-ABBA, HA-HCD
      Has data plate showing WA.1098 which was apparently wrongly stamped before going to the military
      WA.1104 is XW862

      So there are in fact two showing as WA.1098, as one has crashed and the other is now in Hungary I do not think the CAA are too bothered about sorting it out ?

          Also, IIIC2 is for SA341F2, does that mean they won't fly again?

          The IIIC2 and IIIN2 are identical but have different part numbers.

          The C2 is now unsupported by Turbomeca (the French mil stopped using the 341 some time ago). The N2 will probably go that way too, now that the UK mil have stopped using it.

          Only the certified version (the 341G) using the Astazou IIIA, will be supported. All other Gazelles, SA341 B,C,D,E,F and H will be able to operate under a Permit to Fly or Experimental airworthiness category.

            Stretched Gazelle Down in the UK

            SA341G(S) N150SF (1584) crashed yesterday (Sunday, 5th November) at around 1:45pm local time at the Anglia Motel in Fleet Hargate, Lincolnshire in the UK.

            John Kinder, a friend of Anglia Motel owner Harold Payne, said: ”The helicopter was being flown by Colin Bodil an experienced pilot from Nottingham and one other passenger collided with a flood light stanchion whilst taking off after a lunch break at the motel.

            “Colin a regular at the venue was blinded by the low sunlight and failed to judge the distance.

            “The helicopter engine caught on fire but was extinguished before arrival of the emergency services. Luckily no one was injured.”

            A spokesman for Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue said: ”Crews from Long Sutton and Spalding attended a helicopter crash on Washway Road, Fleet, Spalding.

            “There was Severe fire damage to 100 per cent of the engine of the helicopter. The firewas on out on arrival, crews inspected the scene.”

            A spokesman for Lincolnshire Police said: “We were called just after 1.45pm to reports of a helicopter crash in Fleet Hargate. Officers attended the scene. Two people were involved in the incident, who were the occupants of the aircraft, were not injured as a result. The Air Accident Investigation Bureau is leading any further enquiry.”
            Mercifully, Colin and his passenger were not injured - Thank you Lord!

              Yes, we are so thankful they are okay.

              Looks like the left skid absorbed much of the impact on landing.

              Looks like the fuselage may be OK, suppose it depends how hard it hit !

              I have been to that Motel, there is a Hawker Hunter in the grounds !
