Malawi



First Capital Bank of Malawi are using an edited photo of an ALAT Gazelle as part of their current advertising. In likelihood the bank may be recruiting one of Malawi's Air Force Gazelles for it's currently publicity drive although we have yet to see a photo of this.

#1301 ZU-ROO & #1413 N341GL, I think.

Nope, they mostly belonged to Yugoslav republics (only one was for the Federal Police), the specific one was obtained for the Republic of Montenegro police HQ and based near their capital.
