Not sure if you will find this helpful but somebody has compiled a list titled ......
"Officially Destroyed Bell Aircraft per Government Final Report"
http://www.bellhelicopter.com/MungoB.../destroyed.pdf

It includes some 206 A's with these low serial numbers 8 , 18 , 56 , 83 , 86

............................................


Trivia .... C-FJAD , 206-A , Serial number 18 , was owned by Gerry McArthur at Vega Helicopters (St Andrews Manitoba) when I took some 47G2 training there in early 1980's .... I believe it went from there to Great Slave Helicopters , and burned in a ground fire in 2003 (something like that)

I think Great Slave still uses the C-FJAD mark but on a 212 now.

More trivia .... I think serial no. 18 was the first 206A in Canada and flew in the 1960's as traffic patrol for Montreal radio station CJAD
