Vergiate (LILG) 2023

[Zonan]

Seen on 19/10/2023 in a quick stop were:

AW109
I-EASU, cn 42, Primer, Testrun

AW139
I-EASY, cn 40, Primer, testflight
I-PTFR, cn 36, mainly white with red and blue stripe, orange outline around 3 windows

AW149
CSX82140, cn 106, Primer, mostly not completed, no top, no doors, no rotors, being towed from the hangar to platform other side of the runway.

Can anyone help with possible future operators and registrations?
Seeing how the first 2 Polish AW149s are 49104 and 49105, could the 106 be their next one, making serial 6703 a likely candidate?

Polish AW149’s are being built at PZL Swidnik as far as I know?

That is correct, 49106 is Poland 3.
