Wilken Group bought an ex Indonesian civil (PK-VTR?) registrated C-160 NG Transall in 2015, they announced on Twitter. Some pictures out showing TL-AAW with Westwind Aviation stickers.

Is there anybody out there to bring a bit of light on this "mystery" bird?

Apparently written off by fire after landing Dolow Airfield, Somalia 3/9/21. No details about the crew sorry.
Now registered as EY-360
Hope it helps.

Both pilots escaped unhurt.

A Kenian company owning the only civil Transall, registers the aircraft in Tadjikistan and operates in Somalia... Puh.

It just so happens that Westwind had the Andover (748) from the Royal Air Force (technically ETPS Boscombe Down) which was registered in the CAR (Central Africa Republic) which they operated out of Kenya which crashed on take off from an airfield in South Sudan while engaged in a WFP operation.
