You are absolutely correct BedakSrewet, this transmission was indeed designed and manufactured by Fiat Aviazone. I seem to remember it was all the parts painted blue on the SA330 and subsequent evolution of helicopters that originated there. As another poster earlier noted, this organization evolved into Avio, which is of course now owned by General Electric. GE in turn is further involved in the leasing activities affected by the CHC actions, as well of course as the manufacturer of the CT7 engines in the S92. You couldn't make this stuff up if you tried!
