Bet the Swiss Boys would have liked to have a 4 where the 3 is i.e. 4 tonne

Nice photo but why is the frangible fairing a different colour?

Think they'll just be happy to get something rather than the museum piece Allouette 3s;)

Frangible fairing

At a guess, I'd say it's been "franged" and the replacement didn't come in the same colour. Only guessing...it's never happened to me...honest!
