  • Hi there
    The incidents were detailed in the UK aviation monthly magazines such as Pilot/Flyer/Today's Pilot....on one occasion, a gang attacked a helicopter with axes and sledgehammers and targeted specific points of the aircraft; ie, they had been told exactly where to aim their strikes.

        No thats one of The Air Crops CE135's, the GREEN paint should have given that away.... 272 was based over in the UK ( McAlpine i think ) for over a year in Garda colours on an Airfield, there was a pic of her like that floating around on the net..

            • Had a chat with a member of the ASU yesterday. He was going through the differences between the two helis, there's some slight differences in kit I won't talk about. One difference I can mention is the dog boxes in the rear of the aircraft. Now the new heli can transport the dog unit without getting hairs everywhere.
