ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

No, he really means Australian, as you can see by the Kangoroo roundel, the serial, and the camouflage.

So really a very nice catch....

Very nice catch Stephan! Could you check your original pic of the Australian MRH90 for the construction number? Should be painted on the tail just below the registration. Thanks!

The test flights are being performed under German military regulations, hence a mandatory German serial and roundel.

You see the same with helicopters from the Westland Agusta factory in the United Kingdom (UK military serials) and helicopters from the Agusta factory in Italy (for instance the Dutch NH-90 which still flies with an Italian military serial).

He Joris,

Due to rotorblade-blur it is not possible to read the complete c/n, but the last two digits of three are . 34

Hope this helps.

Are you sure on ..34?
According to the information I have, however unconfirmed, the c/n is 1243.
