There used to be a 407 based in Auckland, owned by merchant bankers Fay Richwhite but they ended up trading it in on an EC130. It was then sold to Classic Helicopters in Utah where it is still based from what I understand.
Bell's agents down here leave a heck of a lot to be desired and now that Sikorsky have bought Heli tech Bell actually has no one representing them from what I understand. Apart from a couple of recent 412s for the EMS contract in Victoria there has not been a new Bell product sold into this part of the world for a long time.
Eurocopter is kicking their ass big time. Here in Kiwiland we have 400 or so helicopters and most of them are EC products. We have a lot of the latest toys as well with the following here:
5 x EC130s
1 x EC135-T2
1 x S-76
Plus many others. It would be great to see Bell get some new aircraft in here but they need to become more proactive in their marketing. It seems like all they care about is the V-22 program.
Autorotate.
