Not only that, but Bell keeps track of the serial numbers of their aircraft. They gleefully let the FAA know which ones have been destroyed, removing that SN from their roster of approved helicopters. The ad on eBay says it's a 1970 Bell (not AB) 206 (no mention of configuration) and the data plate and logbook are in England. Also says it's for an operational aircraft with no damage history! One wonders then, how did the data plate come adrift from the aeroframe? Did it fall off? Did someone turn the original ship (likely an A-model) into a static display?
