It looks like it's highlighting a huge stress point....

I thought all new 139's had long noses?

griffothefog - it's a 2008 build which AW has been using as a demo aircraft

It's a 2010 build according to G-INFO :confused:

Must be this one....
:ok:

9A - that's the same one... :}

Must admit public data are not consistent...

My "official" sources list that SN 31133 like 2008. YOM
at 700+ FH, nice helicopter by all means :ok:

tought it was a bit further down the tailboom :E

Lol, exactly! The craft wears, as RVDT mentioned, the standard AW livery.

In the OP there was the suggestion that this 'fly-through' may have been part of the up-coming Bond movie but yes, it does seem a little late for that.

The a/c reg may well be a give-away when it comes to what the craft is up to.

To me the livery looks like the standard AW livery with extra blue and red reflecting the union flag...

G-OLYM
 

Brilliant Stuff, that's exactly what it is !

How ironic, a helo' G-OLYM (or maybe this particular machine will be
able to get closer to the event(s) than Battersea !!!)

Olympics ceremony secrecy urged

...but Rotorheads (incl. Sav) may want to tune-in.

I/C

Not Olympic at all - it's the new standard AW C/S. Same are applied to the training A109's at Newquay.

I guess we can expect the 139 to be flying VIP's into Battersea on Friday 27th ? anybody else booked into to Battersea for opening cermony ?

You can expect an Olympic flavour Merlin...
