The Caracal combat rescue helicopter entered French service in 2005 and it seems that this machine came straight from Afghanistan when it was demonstrated here at the LIMA exhibition. This was apparently succesful as Malaysia ordered twelve EC725s in 2009. This photo is copyright © Peter de Jong, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
