Yes, 3 Gazelle's have had a brief spell on the Swaziland register...
G-CBJZ - originally XZ932 then onto 3D-HGW, then onto G-
G-BZDW - originally ZB626, onto the G- for a year, then 3D-HVW from July 2001 until Feb 2002, then back to G-BZDW.
G-BZDV - originally XW884, onto the G- for a year, then 3D-HXL from July 2001 until Feb 2002, then back to G-BZDW.
I wonder if the new Isle of Man register will take permit aircraft? and if so, whether this will be a route for this type of aircraft?
Also, not a 100% sure fire way of identification, you can usually spot a civilian built Gazelle by the fact that it normally has a cover over the tail rotor drive shaft & the military built ones do not.

Reason: spelling!
