This '87 Mi-8 was delivered to the Russian Air Force as 82 yellow and operated from Chkalovski air base. The Mi-8 was most probably transferred to the Polish Air Force by late '03, early '04 in an all-grey c/s. The MT as reported with Polish 'szachownica', acquired for Special op in Afghanistan. It was then donated by the UK in all-grey c/s without titles after an overhaul by Helisota at Kaunas-Gamykla (Lithuania). It was first reported with the Afghan MoI by November 2004. By July 2012 it was reported as 311 with the Special Mission Wing. The construction number is still unconfirmed.
