The Dauphins have already been assembled at Guaymaral civil airport in Bogotá,
painted in Colombian colours with serial numbers ARC 251 and 252,
and are expected to be delivered on 7 January 2019
to the Grupo Aeronaval del Caribe (the Colombian Navy’s Caribbean Naval Air Group).
The helicopters will operate from Barranquilla Naval Aviation Base,
but their main mission will be to operate from the Colombian Navy’s ARC 20 de Julio-class offshore patrol vessels.
Both helicopters were purchased in Portugal but had operated in Brazil,
where ARC 251 was serialled PR-HJR and ARC 252 was at first PR-HJS and later CS-HIP.
