Anyone for the stored big helicopter covered next to the stored Vampire T55 on the ramp at Lodrino? Was seen july 20th.
First thought was a Sea King, but maybe it is a Cougar??
Also a Swiss AF PC-7 in red/wh colours was seen between the hangars. All was seen from the highway.

At Buochs the ex Arg . Gendarmerie PC-6 is still outside right of blue Pilatus hangar.
Anyone for the blue/yel based Alouette 2 at Buochs july 20th?

Thanks,
Erik

Stored with white/grey sheets....
There should be another two in the hangar next to the Venom. It is not clear what they are doing or where they are going next....
