          F-MASP should be serial 1707 and BOS was 1334

          Btw, I noticed we have opened 200nd page of the thread with almost 6K posts. Not bad

                            I'm against anyone's 'labeling' here but JJ just repeated info about 'certain individual' we already knew.

                          I came across these two b/w images probably showing an Moroccan SA342K on production line at Marignane in mid 1970's





                          Note the airframe numbered 1340 behind, that one would later become Kuwait KAF 513 and destroyed by Iraqi AF in August 1990.

                                      Grazie, re: the 'G' models. Btw, do you know how many of those eight are still airworthy?

                                      Did YugoPol have their helicopter division based at Podgorica, and if so, from this base did they serve all of Yugoslavia?

                                      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.
