Jos,

thank you for keeping us updated regarding Gaz regs & ownership's!

[Savoia]

Grazie Jos! 👍

Let's hope there aren't too many shenanigans going on with some of these serials.

[Helipixman]

I have checked out the address in Bulgaria and it relates to a Company by the name of Hevolution, that rang a bell and sure enough they own Agusta A109 G-STNS. I think there is a connection to someone we know !

Interesting, thanks. Does that c/n on the tail fin read 1409 (ex G-CHLW, XX439)?

[Savoia]

I'm not sure Jos, but this is an ex-UK Army bird and was supplied by Paramount Aviation in South Africa so the likelihood of it being 1409 is quite high.

Nice finding, Sav!

Mid 1970's, heyday of Gazelles production in Marignane factory. A candy store at its best

[Savoia]

Very nice Zis. 👍

To which country were the Gazelles with the flags going?

[Zishelix]

To Syria, other camou w/no flags to Iraq, one overall drab painted to ALAT and last in the row (civil one) for Philippine.

[Fabrice]

Actually, I would say that the olive drab painted machine is due to be delivered to Burundi.

OO-XDT is an SA342M (ex French ALAT helicopter) born in 1984 and just freshly overhauled in our shop. It is also the first Gazelle EVER to be place on the Belgian register.

[Savoia]

Congratulazioni, congratulazioni e congratulazioni XB! 🎉🍾🎉🍾

Bravo on having placed the first ever Gazelle on the Belgian register and bravo on turning-out another stunningly overhauled Gazelle. 🥇

The work you do at Zomergem is a real credit to all involved! 👏👍

[Zishelix]

Congratulations! 👍

[Fabrice]

Congrats, very nice to see her gracing the skies again, and still in her Alat livery on top of that!

[Savoia]

Awarded to Avia member 'XB' for the quality of workmanship relating to the overhaul and refurbishment
