Two possibles i've heard of , Australian Helicopters for the SA govt. contract or a machine for Customs/Coast watch (Not Australian Helicopters!).
Whoever it's for the AB will catch them out the Italians change lots of little things on there helo's , in the Hyd, Fuel systems etc what may fit your B412 may not fit the AB 412 operating next to it! Found this out the hard way in Norway and mid east operating mixed fleets. Also the Italian IPC's and MM are not the same as the Bell ones and in some areas leave a bit to be desired!!
