Photo Comment

Originally ordered as a VIP version of the SA 330C for the Ethopian AF, but not delivered. Other photos of this Puma at the same show indicate that is was marked with Paris number '145H' on the other side, but left appears to finish '- 28H'. Reworked to SA 330L Puma standard and became F-WRQK, then F-BRQK. Delivered to the Irish Aer Corps in July 1981 as 242. Returned to Aérospatiale in February 1983 and prepared for the French AF CEV with callsign F-ZLAT, now with DGA-EV c/s F-ZAID
