"This Super Frelon is the only airworthy example in South Africa today." ....... as per the Airpic site!

I will be very surprised if this helicopter's been certified by the SACAA, and issued with an Airworthiness Certificate.

As far as I remember, the Frelon was never type certified, and the French Manufacturer had no interest in supporting it in a civilian role.


Maybe someone can enlighten me???

Also, why did the aircraft not fly as ZS-HTN for nearly 20 years??
