Nice log,

I have visited Marseille-marignane on 14 June 2010.
And i'am still searching for some serials.

EC-725 F-ZWBM
EC-725 F-ZWBN
EC-725 F-ZWBR
And EC-225's F-WHFC / CUO 001 , F-WHFO

Can anyone help wwith some info or serial numbers from these helicopters

Mtia

Bram Marijnissen

[EvD]

Some small corrections on Michiel's log:

F-WWOG = c/c TWN001 (corr), from photo
SSWA01 = BSWA01 (corr), was a misread on my part, it was in the far back of the hangar

The AS350 could also be Ecuador Army as the roundels resemble each other from a distance and Ecuador is a known Ecureuil operator.

With regards to Bram's mail about 14-6-2010:

F-ZWBM is an unknown AS532
F-ZWBN was an AS565MB, AMHP-154 Mexican Navy seen 14-6-11 (see http://forum.scramble.nl/viewtopic.php? ... =marseille)
F-ZWBR = BRA002 = EB-5001, HM-4 (EC725) Brazilian Army it is on the Eurocopter website in a lot of pictures

The F-WH.. are civvie EC225LP's, don't know what their fate is/was.

Erwin

[F17_114PM]

Do you maybe also the fate of F-ZWBL (seen also on 14th of June 2010)?

I always thought, that it was/is BRA002 EC725 for the Brazilian Air Force ...

Thank you very much in advance!

[Bram]

Hi Erwin,

Thanks for the info much appreciated

Regards

Bram

[EvD]

I just discovered that the BRA002 was worn by F-ZKBG (or the other way around) in the 14-16 June 2010 timeframe.
By October 2010 it was F-ZWBR. So, I guess I was a bit premature with my previous answer...

F-ZWBL is BRA001, also for Brazil. Not sure which serial is/was allocated to that.
F-ZWBS is N-7101 for the Brazilian navy.
I am not sure if Eurocopter discriminates between the various branches of the Brazilian armed forces with their client codes. In that case BRA001 could also be the first AF aircraft.
The three first ones were delivered 20 December 2010 and the remainder will be assembled/build in Brazil.

Erwin

[F17_114PM]

Thank´s Erwin

If F-ZWBL was the first for the Air Force, it would be 8510.

[EvD]

Yep, the first AF example is indeed 8510.
To make it easier for all of us, the Army uses the designation HM-4 (16x transport), the Air Force uses H-36 (16x csar & transport) & VH-36 (2x VIP) and the Navy UH-15 (8x transport) & UH-15A (8x surface warfare).
The absence of any further sightings seems to indicate that the line in Brazil is already working.

But more people should go to Marseille and, more importantly, post their logs here

AS-350B3 281? / F-WWPH Pakistan Army
This one is 2813

EC-725 F-ZWDA (CAR030) Primer c/s
This one is CAR020 (for French AF)

Best regards
Woelfie

[EvD]

Great, have fun over there

[Michiel]

Thanks Erwin for the corrections, the updates and most of the reading of course.
I agree with you that more people should place there LOG on the board.

Woelfie also thanks for the corrections and updates.

Regards,

Michiel
