    There were three SA341G at the time there: c/n 1527 & 1060 operated by Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority and #1154 of Puerto Rico Water Resources Authority.

      Very interesting Zis! 👍 Hopefully more Puerto Rican Gazelles will turn up in the future.

          This aircraft has a similar livery to N102PR so it may have belonged to the Electric Power Authority.

                    Later became G-SIVJ, based at Halfpenny Green.

                    Is anyone able to shed some light on her present status? I haven't seen her fly in a long time.

                      We posted a couple of photos of her flying last year, including one at Old Warden.

                      Her Permit to Fly has just been renewed but perhaps she doesn't fly that often.

                    • SA341G F-OCRX c/n 1003 was the first Gazelle in USA and Aerospatiale subsidiary Vought Helicopters' demo machine.

                      Seen below flying over a city in the US in 1972.

                          Scene from the 'Strike Commando 2' movie (1988)



                          Since the movie was filmed in Philippines and it's a 'stretched Gazelle', it could be RP-C224 c/n 1490

                                                  After little bit investigation I concluded it must be The North East Land Sea & Air Museum (NELSAM) on the former RAF Usworth and Sunderland airport site. The Gazelle remains than should be WA341G c/n 1039 G-SFTA. Another detail beside luggage compartment which makes me to think so is the faded L-shape marking on it's tail fin.
