Spanish invaders....

On Friday I noted that INAER have two Spanish based Bell 407's in for maintenance - N407DL is one of them, the other is a blue & silver example, also on the N reg I think. 'DL was here last year for major overhaul. It is rumoured that they will both go onto the Spanish register whilst here, then depart back to firefighting\commercial activities with Helisureste.

Fully overhauled and refurbished Bell 206 G-OAGL is now complete and should be delivered back to Shoreham today with G-JETX acting as one way ferry. Others in the INAER hangar were B206's G-HANY, G-BVGA, G-LILY & 206L G-OFST.

In the Edmondson paintshop were R22 G-RWIA, EC135 G-SURY for it's now standard (for an EC135) tail boom repaint, this departed today (Sat) back to Oxford - photo above. Also here was EC130 G-CFOA which has reportedly been sold overseas. R22 G-OBIO is due here on Monday from Heli Air at Wellesbourne.

Full house at BN Helicopters with a total of 9 aircraft in the hangar!
