  • SA341G JA9098 (cn.1012) as seen at Osaka International Airport on 10th October 1985

    New photos of Japan's modest Gazelle fleet are a rarity, making this lovely shot of Toho Air Service's '098' a real treat.

    098 did of course have a sister ship known as JA9164 .. which went on to become N505HA.

        Montenegro Replacing Gazelles .. with Bell 505's

        The Montenegro Ministry of Defence has announced that it has signed a contract worth € 3.2 million to procure two Bell 505's for its armed forces. Montenegro will become the first military operator of the Bell 505 with the first example being delivered in July 2020 and the second arriving in early 2021.

        In April 2019, Bell Helicopter demonstrated Bell 505 F-HJRX proposing this as a replacement for the Montenegro's Gazelle helicopters. Bell visited the homebase of Montenegro's helicopter squadron at Podgorica-Gulobovci where the Bell 505 was demonstrated to the Minister of Defence, Predrag Bošković as well as officials from the Armed Forces. In November 2019 the Ministry of Defence announced that it intended to procure in total of four Bell 505's for its armed forces.

        Over the next five years the Bell 505 will replace Montenegro's Gazelle helicopters which are now over 30 years old. According to Scramble Magazine, Montenegro has 13 Gazelle helicopters in its Army inventory plus one attached to the Police of which 8 are reported to be in active service.

          Thank you very much for clarifying the fact that you did not fly on saturday and sunday. There is something that flies regularly around Breighton and on Flight radar24 it shows up as BLOCKED. Now thanks to your confirmation I know it is not you. I will edit the above post to remove HA-HSG, again many thanks. Whatever it was was flying on both days at 11am and again at 1pm ?

                Knowing why G-RALE was serving time at Odiham, were the Green blades a stealth tactic ? Did not work if they were !!!

                Ciao Elipix! I think everything underneath the blades should also have been green if they 'really' wanted to employ stealth mode, but I think the driver was 'doomed' from the outset because it seems that the UK customs had been tipped-off and the RAF waiting for him.

                The request below was made on other groups. Hopefully someone here can provide an answer.

                I am attempting to compile a list of all UK military aircraft that have been used in the United Nations peacekeeping Force In Cyprus (UNFICYP). So far, only one Gazelle is known: ZB668. Have other Gazelles been used for UNFICYP?

                    • G-MANN visiting Holland in 1992

                      An interesting brief on Gazelles in general and G-MANN (now YU-HVZ) in particular:

                      The Aérospatiale SA341G Gazelle is a small single-turbine-engine utility helicopter that can accommodate up to two crew and three passengers.

                      The Gazelle is operated on transport, scouting and light attack duties. Development of the SA-341 Gazelle started in 1966 under Sud-Aviation banner as project X 300 to meet a French army requirement for a light observation helicopter with seating for five people to replace the Alouette II. Soon afterwards, the name SA 340 was adopted for the project when Sud-Aviation began working on the light observation helicopter.

                      While in the final design stages the SA 340 attracted British interest as a replacement of the Bell Sioux. This British interest led to a joint development and production share-out agreement signed on 22 February 1967 and officially confirmed on 2 April 1968. This share-out agreement was part of the Franco-British agreement to licence production that also included the Puma and Lynx helicopters. The Sud-Aviation SA-341 is the production derivative of the SA-340, two prototypes of which have been tested.

                      he first SA340 prototype c/n 340-01 had a traditional tail rotor and performed its first flight with test-registration F-WOFH on 7 April 1967. It was powered by a Turboméca Aztazou IIN turboshaft and equipped with a new semi-rigid rotor with composite blades developed in a cooperative effort with Bolköw.

                      The second SA-340 prototype c/n 340-02 featured the 13-blade shrouded anti-torque rotor, the newly designed 'Fenestron' tail rotor instead of a conventional tail rotor, to be utilised by the SA-341, flew first with test-registration F-ZWRA on 17 April 1968. Four pre-production SA341s were built, with the first, c/n 314-01 test flown as F-ZWRH on 2 August 1968. The third pre-production SA341, c/n 341-03, was equipped to British Army requirements, assembled and tested in France, and then re-assembled by Westland Helicopters Ltd in the UK as the prototype Gazelle AH.1. As Gazelle AH.1 it was first flown at Yeovil as XW276 on 28 April 1970.

                      As the SA341 Gazelle was interesting for both the military and civilian market, CofA was requested. On 7 June 1972, National Certification of the Model SA 341 G was given by the DGAC-F. On 27 April 1976, the more powerful Model SA 342 J was certified by DCAG. Over the years 1775 Gazelle helicopters were built in France by Sud Aviation / Aérospatiale / Eurocopter and under licence by Westland Helicopters Ltd. in the United Kingdom as the Westland Gazelle; by SOKO in Yugoslavia as the SOKO HO-42 and variants; and by the Arab British Helicopter Company (ABHCO) in Egypt as the ABHCO SA-342 Gazelle.

                      On 1 January 1970, Sud-Aviation was merged with a number of other French aerospace companies to form the SNIAS (Société Nationale Industrielle Aérospatiale). From 1984, SNIAS operated under the name of Aérospatiale. The helicopter divisions of MBB from Germany and Aerospatiale from France merged in January 1992 to form the Eurocopter Group.

                      As a result of the merger between the Eurocopter parents Aérospatiale-Matra; DaimlerChrysler Aerospace (DASA) and Construcciones Aeronàuticas Sociedad Anonima (CASA) in July 2000, the Eurocopter group became a division of the new formed EADS (European Aeronautic Defence and Space company). Taking off into 2014, EADS was rebranded as "Airbus Group". Uniting all its activities under a single brand, its helicopter division Eurocopter was rebranded as Airbus Helicopters on 8 January 2014.

                      A History of s/n 1295
                      • The 1975-built Aérospatiale SA341G Gazelle 1 s/n 1295 flew first with test-registration F-WKQH.
                      • In February 1977, the Gazelle was registered N47316 in the USA with Aerospatiale Helicopters Corp., Grand Prairie, TX.
                      • In April 1977, registration N47316 was changed to N444JJ and in May 1977, to N44QQ as before with Aerospatiale Helicopters and finally to N44DQ. As N44DQ, the SA341G Gazelle entered service with San Joaquin Helicopters, Delano, California.
                      • On 18 November 1982, registration N44DQ was cancelled as exported to the UK.
                      • On 11 January 1983, the helicopter was registered G-BKLW in the UK with Helicopter Services, Weston-super-Mare.
                      • On 14 April 1986, the Gazelle was registered G-MANN with International Trust Corp., Isle of Man. Since, the G-MANN was registered with a number of private owners.
                      • On 29 October 2004, MW Helicopters at Stapleford Aerodrome, was registered as owner/operator of the Gazelle G-MANN.
                      • On 29 October 2004, the helicopter was registered with Nigel Edward Robert Brunt and on 21 November 2008, the G-MANN returned to MW Helicopters.
                      • In 2012, G-MANN was repainted into a smart black and silver paint scheme.
                      • On 10 July 2014, registration G-MANN was placed on the Serbian register and on 23 July 2014, the Aérospatiale SA341G Gazelle was registered YU-HVZ with Martin Wood helicopters. Although registered in Serbia, the helicopter was not exported to Serbia but to the Netherlands.
                      • Since July 2014, Aérospatiale SA341G Gazelle YU-HVZ has been owned by Peter van Zutphen and based at Best in the Netherlands. The helicopter is registered in Serbia to make it easier to have the maintenance carried out by SOKO.

                      SA341G(S) G-MANN s/n 1295 at Groningen Airport Eelde in Holland on 20th August 1992

                      G-MANN Cowling Incident

                      On 25 July 1993, when chartered from a private owner in London, a strange incident with the helicopter was reported: after completion of the pre-flight checks and briefing the passengers, the helicopter departed for a flight from Islay to Carlisle.

                      Immediately after take off, the pilot noticed a vibration which he believed to be blade tape becoming detached. He landed the aircraft immediately and found that the front catch on the right side of the gearbox cowling was undone and the aft cowling link hinge was broken.

                      The pilot then fastened the forward catch; made sure the cowling was in its correct position and then continued the flight. After the completion of this flight, the pilot flew this helicopter to Thruxton Airfield, were it was routinely maintained. Subsequent inspection by the maintenance company revealed that both sides of the cowling were cracked close to the rear fastening clip. It was also found that the rear end of both cowlings had been abraded around the tail rotor drive-shaft opening and that the drive-shaft itself was abraded.

                      The damage to both the cowling and the drive-shaft were sufficiently severe that all had to be replaced. Although the rear link hinge was broken, the other hinge and all the clip fasteners were serviceable and in good condition. The loss of the rear link hinge considerably reduces the positive location of the aft end of the cowling, allowing it to drop down and move laterally.

                            Can anyone hazard a guess as to what the wire is which is plugged into the starboard fuselage just behind the rear door?

                              That is interesting. I normally see earth cables clipped attached to the fuselage or skids via the use of a crocodile clip, but here the cable appears to plug into the side of the aircraft?

                              The wire cutters have been installed from 1988 on the ALAT Gazelles, causing the homing antennas to be removed.
                              I agree with md600driver: the wire is used for earth-pluging during refuelling.

                                  I have never noticed the small writing in front of the registration before ? Wonder what it says ?

                                  Have had another thought (pretty rare at my age) going back to post 4361 about Gazelle personalised registrations, the very first must have been G-BAZL ! This was registered by Westland approx three weeks ahead of the normal sequence.

                                  Never noticed that before. Have gone through all my BAGL photos and this writing only appears on the port side in the 70's. Unfortunately I don't have any images in high enough resolution to keep the letters intact when the photo is enlarged but we do have an Avia member who worked on this craft while she was being assembled so I shall send him a message.

                                  Do you think 'GL' and 'ZL' were Westland efforts at abbreviations for 'Gazelle'?

                                  I think you will find that it’s a quick ID for BAZL. ,BAGL, BAGK and BAGJ.

                                    Elipix, do you still think there were personalised registrations? Wasn't the 'BA' sequence being issued at that time?

                                    I still think that G-BAZL was an attempt by Westland to try and personalise a Gazelle. It was registered at least two weeks prior to the strict allocation process.

                                    G-BAZK 31.5.73
                                    G-BAZL 16.5.73 ( Westland must have requested this registration early for a reason)
                                    G-BAZM 31.5.73

                                    As far as GJ GK and GL are concerned they were just normal allocations.....
