03/08/2008 BO105M crash Ukraine

[eivissa]

Just read this strange news report on helionline:

03/08/2008 (D-HGST(2)) MBB BO105M (5083) --- MBB BO105M of Yavson crashed at Ivano-Frankivsk region, W Ukraine, and burst into flames after the impact. The helicopter was never registered in the German civil helicopter register, however it crashed with fake marks D-HGST applied. All 3 on board killed. (3k., w/o)

Anyone got more info about the crash? Circumstances, real reg...

cheers eivissa.

Only google result so far...griffin helicopters isnt even listing an accident at this date:

"Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast:
A helicopter BO105 fell down and got inflamed at 1410hrs August 3, near the sport club "Yavson" airfield. Three people were reported dead. Two State Fire Service units extinguished the fire at 1445hrs. The cause of the accident is under investigation."

I bet there are some more with fake registrations around.
The deal was to good, to many money to make.

The germans sold in the last years more than 50 unarmed ex army Bo105 (the "M") without papers as trash for very little money each.

They all are gone on a direct heading eastbound and without a trace. Any bet this ships and their parts circling around the world now.
