Thanks for the reply. Although it seems that not many AB206 jockey's use this forum.
Are the parts mentioned all ex Saudi Air Force? from recent personal experience, they have no paperwork other than a C of C form Air and Ground. Traceable they maybe - but to a military source only. The same problem was apparent when the 206 parts stock was purchased from the Maltese Air Force a few years ago!Some CAA Surveyors are in tune to what the real world is like when trying to purchase Agusta parts but the majority back off as soon as the term ex-military is used.We have the stock listing, and to be honest it is pretty obvious that the parts have been picked at for a number of years. Most of the stock available comprises of major components like Masts, Transmissions and TR Gearboxes. There are several Driveshafts on the list too, but they are all the three hole couplings and not the 4 hole coupling type that is fitted to B111's. Even if we secured a 3 hole coupling for a BIII machine, we could not fit it because it has been moded out..
