Photo Comment

This registration was said to be involved in a crash landing in Crombie Point, Dunfermline, Fife (UK) on August 4, 1996. The aircraft was reportedly substantially damaged. However, CAA records show that the helicopter was sold to the Netherlands (to Helicon as PH-WJW) on February 6, 1996 and thus it is likely not this aircraft that crash landed. The registration was cancelled on August 23, 2010 and the aircraft became G-PIOM. In November 2012, the aircraft was exported to Germany. Accompanying notes on the CAA site mention that it may have eventually gone to Russia.
