Became G-BCTE, D-HDCH, PH-DCH, PH-NZH, B-83/Netherlands AF.

Added to the fleet of 299sq in '83, this B-83 was a deviating KLu Bolkow as it was a former KLM Helikopters machine. The '73 built helicopter flew earlier as G-BCTE, D-HDCH and PH-DCH, before it became PH-NZH with KLM. The Bo was easily recognised within the 299sq fleet as its skids were extended rearwards compared to the other Bo's of 299sq. B-83 was used as a testbed for various tests. In '96 it was modified to Bo105CB. In Apr'00 is was withdrawn from use at Gilze Rijen and sold to Star Air Service (Teuge) in October 2003. On 13 Sep'07 it moved to Neuhausen ob Eck (Germany), where it was noted in open storage in 2020 - see other photo.

Ended up in southern Germany together with B-72, behind. B-83 was a KLM Bo 105D, PH-NZH, added to the Netherlands air force's Bo 105CB fleet in 1982 and eventually brought to the same standard in 1996.

in 1982 sold to the Netherlands AF, where it served as B-83.

This example flew for KLM from 1976 until 1982. After that, it became B-83 of the 299 Sqn. of the Royal Dutch Air Force. Withdrawn from use in 2000.
