Intended to have been ZW-4306 for the Indian Air Force, based at Newquay from 15 May 2013 and used to train IAF crews on the operation of these VIP transports. The Indian contract was cancelled due to a financial dispute, and this aircraft was reported to have been delivered to the Indonesian AF on 19 January 2017 as H-1001. However that deal also seems to have turned bad, the helicopter reportedly being impounded by the police prior to delivery. Current status is uncertain. Seen here with the markings applied for use at the 2014 NATO Conference held in Wales.
