Bracciano LIOO 2023

Post by YOXA »

Monday March 27st

From this location n42.08375, e12.07044 we saw a white helicopter in the 4th hangar from the left. We thought it was an AB412, but they have never been in UN "service". We read 285 on the nose, but this could be an AB212, but the code 285 wouldn't work either, as the 283 is the highest code.
Can someone help us with the correct ID of this heli?

Thanks in Advance

It could be Bell 205 MM80537 with code EI-285.
I can’t find any recent pictures, but if it’s white, it might have been used in Lebanon for the UN mission.

Does the E.I.283 happen to have a white c/s??

For me code EI-283 & EI-305 aren't correct

EI-305 should be 303. Typing error
