Shrieking Gazelles

[Savoia]

I'm talking about the scene at 7:15 on your link.

Yes, it would be interesting to know. It may have been a cooperation between Aérospatiale and Renault.

It was Alouette which went through the tunnel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_I2EmDuc-c

Let's hope we would find out which Gazelles were engaged for the TV ad

[Savoia]

Yes, it has appeared at least once before, and I remember saying that it would have been possible to fly beneath that bridge because it's quite high. Now if you want to see something which left literally no margin for error filmed without any CGI, then Larry Kirsch's take-off followed by a departure through a tunnel in the movie 'Deadly Encounter' takes some beating.

The new information (for me) from Helico is that these were not German Polizei aircraft but were sourced from somewhere else. It would be interesting to know then where these four aircraft came from. Perhaps Aérospatiale provided them?

I think we have already shown this video:



Since computer graphics wasn't so advanced at the time when this TV ad was made, I wonder if they really flew under that highway bridge?

Interesting, thanks for info Fabrice! There was a hint about 'malonnier Gazelle' here https://www.ecologie.gouv.fr/sites/d...e2022_n395.pdf (see p. 33), but I didn't know details.

[Fabrice]

As you probably know, as you're all so sharp about the Gazelle on this forum , this Gazelle is (or will shortly be) equipped with some specials flight controls (called malonnier in french) to be flown without the rudder pedal, as her owner is disabled (legs paralysed after an accident years ago). A second French Gazelle should be modified like this.

Grazie Daliborsky 👍 e benvenuto ad Aviafora!

Back in 1995 WA341C c/n 1007 G-ZELE was used for BBC TV serie Silent Witness. Since the helicopter 'survived' that (as far as I know), I wonder which Gazelle remains were seen on the filming set.

Farewell Snow Gazelles!

Grazie Jos! 👍
