Why the separate colour schemes? Aren't they going to be using the same drivers for both? Does this mean that if the mission parameters change they need to go back to base to fetch the other machine.

Still am a big fan of the Dauphine and remain mesmerised with how Polair can fly it around so quietly at night, but I guess it's time for a new era. Just hope the new one is just as quiet.

You couldn't say that about their original Dauphins, their fenestron scream announced their arrival before the flight plan went in.

Noticed the new cop shop has a landing pad for the 139 presumably to load it up with the SOG’s. Any complexities landing a 139 on the 40th floor roof? Do many helis land on buildings that high?

1000th AW139 Vergiate September

In honour of Anzac Day, figured I post these I attended the 1000th AW139 event at Leonardo facility in Verigiate last September. Anyhow my photos of two of the Air Wing new 139. One in full colours and doing flight tests, that week and the other was parked up in the dozen AW139 line up for the event.





I gather the airframe RAIV color is that and not going to be the blue / white like the other two a/c?? So it be used for tactical - SWAT / CT ops??

Has their new King Air been assembled / delivered?

cheers

Looks great!

Soon it will be hard to tell by sound alone whether an ambulance or police chopper is coming. I've seen a lot of the Dauphines during lockdown in my area. Really going to miss them.
