Che bello Stefano!
We seem to have lost track of this bird since Jos mentioned about her transfer to South Africa, so its nice to finally catch up with her. Perhaps she's been in the shop till now?
Seeing as you've allowed us to see ZU-ROC in flight for the firs time, it seems only appropriate that we should also display her first photo on the forum!

Notice .. an ex-mil bird with tailrotor driveshaft cover and skid fairings. Very nice! Although .. the area directly beneath the sand filter looks a bit 'untidy', is that normal?
Zis, is this a nice shade of red .. or is this a nice shade of red?

BENEGAZ to Gain New Member
Based on recent information provided by Avia member XB, we understand that N341GG is set to remain in the Low Countries and thus become the fifth member of BENEGAZ (the Belgium and Netherlands Gazelles).
The other members of the group are N341AS, N505HA, N700SH and YU-HVZ.
In 2014 we presented XB with the Silver Gazelle Award for his achievements in introducing the Gazelle to this region, and we are very pleased to see that his work continues so effectively.
Congratulations and well done XB!
Sav's Note: Because of this craft's registration 'GG' and the fact that she is to be painted black, I am proposing that her Avia name be 'Black Horse'.
Sav's Note II: (Edited to reflect XB's comment below. My apologies to XB!).
In 2016 BENEGAZ received her fifth member N341DT which I provisionally named 'Bluebird', for obvious reasons, although it is possible that her colours will be changed and so too therefore her name.
The members of BENEGAZ are now therefore six with the entire group consisting of:
N341AS, N505HA, N700SH, YU-HVZ, N341DT and N341GG.
From no Gazelles in Belgium, to six craft (one honorary) in just four years! Once again .. bravo!Comment
-
You forgot my N341DT so 6 in total!
Wait a little with 'Black Horse' you'll be surprised. It goes into the paint shop on Feb 4th. Expect to see a result by the end of February. -
Congratulations guys! An remarkable achievement, indeed. I can just imagine how much time and dedicated working hours (not to mention money) such project required. Once again - well done!

Chuck Aaron with SA341F Stateside
Went out flying this 341-F Gazelle today for a new commercial coming out in a few weeks. This is the same helicopter my son Charles flew for several years before he went to heaven to fly for the Lord, where he got his "Master of all Wings"!
Miss you son ...

Nice. Does anyone know what happened to this Gazelle after its cancellation from the Greek register?Comment
-
Sorry Jos, not able to help much about since I'm also lack with fresh data regarding SX-HDL. Last info I have is from 2001 (sale advertisement by Hoffman Aircraft Co. According the seller, at the time the machine were equipped with High Skids, Strobes, Tail Rotor Drive Shaft Cover, Heater, Duels, Rotor Brake, Night Light Kit, VHF Instrument Panel, AT 150 Transponder with Encoder, KX 195 Transcever, KR85 ADF, KCS 305 Slaved Compass, SP 700 Compass & Avtech Audio Panel, Wulfsburg 40 Flitephone)
Let's hope some fellow Aviaforan will know more about s/n 1566 present status

The Flight of 3 aircraft was named after the battle of Kangaw (Burma now Myanmar), which ended 72 years ago yesterday. Also known as the Battle of Hill 170. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Hill_170
3 CBAS established itself at Coypool, Plymouth on 19 July 1971. Each flight was named after the battle honour of its affiliated Commando, namely Dieppe Flight for 40 Commando, Kangaw Flight for 42 Commando, Salerno Flight for 41 Commando and Montforterbeek Flight for 45 Commando. The Brigade HQ Flight was named Brunei Flight to commemorate the first time the 'Commando Gunners' (29 Cdo RA) went into action to support the Brigade.

French accent on: 'Ze Gaz Squad are not comeeng? Sacré bleu, c'est pas possible! What is wrong weeth zem??!!' -
According to the Squadron website they quote their fleet as 9 Gazelles plus three customer Gazelles. I know a few of them are not civilian registered and long term projects. Also noted from their website that the first display they are doing at Abingdon they are showing four Gazelles there. Such a shame if they do not make it to Middle Wallop being so close and with so many UK registered Gazelles. Would be great to see them attend.Last edited by Helipixman; 2nd February 2017, 21:39.
