This Huey was operated by the 601 Combat Aviation Battalion and was one of six deployed to the Falklands prior to the war. Upon capture, AE-409, AE-413 and AE-422 in were used by the British Army to ferry freight and deliver mail around the islands. The first two were painted white by the Argentinians for use in casualty evacuation and AE-409 still retains this white colour as it is now on display at this very interesting museum.
