WA.341D XX384 displayed at Pima Air and Space Museum at Tucson, Arizona. Photo taken in March 14th, 2017 by Kevin Colbran.
This specific Gazelle served UK Army until demobed in 2015 and sold on civil market. A private collector near Norwich bought it with loads of Lynx airframes and transferred XX384 to Pima Museum after rebuilding it for static display.Comment

'Tis the season of miracles, so great to hear this. It would be lovely to see something like the Mk7 kept aloft.
Should be some Mk9's available soon however.

Nice one!
Looking a bit similar though to something I saw on page 47: http://www.aviafora.com/forums/forum...=4330#post4330 .. although that was in 2010, so it looks like they did this two years running.
Mechanic to driver: 'You been out training again and come down hard one too many times - because I've got a buckled transmission deck!'
Driver to mechanic: 'Ah no boss, 'twas when you lifted her by her hooks n' tail!'

The same photo definitely. That's why it looked familiar to me I should better check before posting.
Brize Norton in 2010 as Sav correctly pointed out.

The time has come the Walrus said, to talk of many things, such as antelopes in icy snow and swift-rotating wings!
And so the season of Snow Gazelles is upon us, in which the subject of this thread is seen amidst the winter weather.
If you would like to engage in this annual display of Gazelles in snow, then click on this album, choose a photo, and post it on this thread! Additional snow Gazelles are also welcome.
I am beginning this year's season with a video from last year, of Avia member Vitaly departing with his Gaz from the Vladivostok area at Christmas time.
Let the Snow Gazelles commence !!!

F-WTNV with F-ZWRL in the early 70's (Jean-Marie Potelle Collection)
Rare model of early Gazelle.
RA-1739G still for sale. Some new angles in the photos. Does the accompanying paperwork (in Russian) suggest that this is a Soko bird?Comment
-
The paperwork does mention SOKO, but I do not know why. It also mentions HT Mark 2 on the same page. And on the next page it correctly identifies this bird as Eurocopter (Aerospatiale) SA341, s/n 1299. Making it ex XX391 and ZK-HTB. -
Well, we'd better stick with 1299 seeing at this is identified in your database. One day we will sort out some of these Russian birds.

As the year draws to its close, so the time has come to extend Christmas greetings among the little community which is Shrieking Gazelles, a forum which continues to serve as home to a number of Gazelle enthusiasts. I offer my thanks to our regular contributors for your support over the past year, together with my appreciation to ‘Warty’ who designed this year’s ‘Christmas Gazelle’ (above). Great thanks as always go to Phil for his continued support in hosting this site.
Christmas provides an opportunity for many to participate in one of life’s richest blessings – ‘together time’ with our nearest and dearest. This coming together among family and friends allows us to appreciate just how blessed we are, for it is people who add value and meaning to our lives.
Christmas also represents a rare moment of unity, when on one day each year, numerous countries observe a broadly similar tradition. It wasn’t so long ago when such unity could be experienced weekly when Sundays still retained some spiritual significance, but as with so many Christian traditions, this practice has largely been discarded in order to make way for the development of the ‘new world’ – a place where goods and services are available 24/7, where commitment to trusted principles kowtows to political correctness and where people exist as resources to be deployed as efficiently as possible in the incessant pursuit of commerce.
Our world is changing .. at break-neck speed, and not all that is changing is for the better. All the more reason then that we make the most of each opportunity. One of the many unwritten traditions of Christmas is that we try and lay aside our differences for the sake of unity, a practice perhaps epitomised by the Christmas Truce of 1914. It is, I believe, a worthwhile endeavour, not least of all for the sake of our children, but also for ourselves, for in so doing we encourage the hope of fostering cherished moments with those closest to us.
Above all, we might recall the reason for this season, the celebration of God’s gift to mankind, His Son our Lord Jesus Christ, the One who would carry away our sins and bridge the divide between man and God caused by sin. ‘Nonsense’ some will say. Fair enough, but the weight of evidence for those who desire truth, is literally overwhelming. Moreover, the naysayers and God-haters, while loud of voice, cannot erase some seventeen centuries in which Christ has featured at the centre of the Christmas celebration, indeed – where He rightly belongs. And while our ancestors made their fair share of mistakes, given the state of our society today, I would say they could probably teach us a thing or two about faith. In fairness to the doubters though, it must be admitted that the church has in general done a woeful job of representing the things of God; for the church, as with man, is imperfect. It is for this reason that those who are willing, should discover God for themselves. For those who thirst for the truth, the path which leads to Him who calls Himself ‘the Truth’, may be uncovered through something as simple as a prayer which asks the question, “Lord, please show me the way which leads to you.” It is a prayer we might consider offering at least once in our life.
There .. for those who won’t make it to midnight mass tomorrow, or to church on Christmas morning, you can at least say that you’ve read a micro-sermon on Aviafora! You see .. your Christmas is already off to a great start!
It only remains then to convey goodwill, peace and joy to each of our members, as well as to our growing number of readers, wishing you and your loved ones a blessed Christmas and a happy new year.
Sav
