Any update on the delivery of the 2nd 135?

Does anyone know the likely serial for it and will 255 be retired when it arrives or will GASU operate 3 helicopters?

...145

Edited: Just noticed it's going to be 272

http://www.irishairpics.com/aircorps/aircorps_history/register.php. Anyone any insight into why 259 isn't allocated?

It's currently with McAlpine Helicopters at Oxford-Kidlington as G-CECT. No word on when conversion work will be completed.

I understand 259 was to be allocated to the airbus corporate jet back when that was on the cards?

might well be the fleet number of the Wright flyer replica in the museum now 'pilot_grin'
