Gazelle production line at Soko Aviation Industry Mostar in mid 1980s.
Ah, sweet memories… In those days I used to believe that one of these would be my piloting machine!

For Hungarian aircraft it's business as usual, as they are EASA registered the same as UK 'G' registrations are EASA and are therefore unaffected by the Brexit, the same is also true of Ryanair's Irish-registered aircraft.Originally posted by Tarman View PostComment

Nice one, Sav!
Speaking of XZ291, does anybody know where's she now? The last info I have about says 'offered for sale via tender won by Witham Specialist Vehicle Sales Ltd. in 2010.

I may have asked this before and, if so, my apologies. However, does anyone know approximately how many Gazelles the British Army have left and .. do they plan to have another garage sale with them?
Also, when the MoD replace their training Ecureuils with the EC135 will the Army perhaps replace their Gazelles with any of these for 'light observation' and/or liaison duties?

FYI: Witham Specialist Vehicles was the government contractor that carried-out the tender. They didn't actually buy any Gazelles.Originally posted by Zishelix View Post
If this was one of the 30 offered for sale then they were all purchased by the same South African company and I think everyone on here knows which ones are already flying. The others are in the process of maintenance, hopefully to flying standards.Comment

Not the first, and probably not the last 'mucky-tailed' Gaz to grace the forum.
Cleaning the tail is one thing, but what about each of those fenestron blades!

These were all in South Africa when I visited recently. I'm surprised they are not on the SA register by now.Originally posted by Rotorspot View PostComment

Nice one Zis!
I am always surprised at how easy it is for forget some of the ships which have been posted on here.
I think this sling was also 'locked' into place, using the well-known 2° inclination towards the forklift!

Wrapping the strop round a few times helps too, or you put it through the eye hole on the Tyne extensions if you have them.Originally posted by Savoia View PostComment
