Air Corps AW139 at Farnborough Show
« on: July 14, 2008, 08:17:36 pm »
Reports elsewhere on the 'Net indicate that AW139 serial 277 is on static display at Farnborough this week.  Interestingly, 275 was reported leaving RAF Northolt this afternoon for Cork - whether connected with the other AW139 at Farnborough I don't know. :ireland:

Would it possibly be AW139 No278 pre-delivery to Air Corp ?

The aircraft I mentioned are 277 and 275 respectively; these are their existing Irish serials and neither is a new aircraft.

275 was indeed at Northolt for an air ambulance transfer of a sick child. 277 is attending the Farnborough airshow, the two were not connected. 278 is currently undergoing acceptance and is expected to return within two weeks.

Air Corps AW139 278 Delivery

Update from Simon Brooke on the MSF list :

G-day all

A nice visitor to Jersey this afternoon was Irish Air Corps AW.139 "278".

http://www.simon-brooke.co.uk/Gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=11769
http://www.simon-brooke.co.uk/Gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=11771

It arrived from La Rochelle as IRL278 - on delivery? - hex code 4CA335.

When I left the airport a couple of hours ago, it was refuelling, prior to
departure.


Cheers      Simon
