Bo105 G-WYPA

The original West Yorkshire Police helicopter, Bo105DBS-4 G-WYPA (S.815) I notice from GINFO has gone Down Under; does anyone know its new reg, or its whereabouts?

Skyline Aviation based out of Lake Macquarie Airport south of Newcastle in NSW got a delivery of some ex-UK Bolkows recently enough from what I understand. Not sure if they are getting them flying again or using them for parts for their existing machines.

Thanks, do you know which other ones they got? G-WYPA is the only one that shows on GINFO as 'Transferred to another country or authority', the last 2 that Bond had (G-BUXS & CDBS) are down as permanently withdrawn from use. Those are the only other 2 I can think of that they might have

I remember seeing one of them that had a Scottish Air Ambulance paint job on it, think it might have been three Bolkows that the received in total that time as well. Sorry I can't be of more help.

N192SJ
