Unit badge on German Bö.105

[Stephan Lodewijks]

Anyone know which unit badge this is?



It was seen on a Heeresflieger Bö.105 at Nörvenich this week.

It may be an 'old' unit badge. But it also looks a lot like a toned-down version of the "Deutsch/Französische Hubschrauber Ausbildungsgruppe"-badge shown in scramble.nl's Heeresflieger OrBat. But that unit did not (and does not) operated Bö.105...

Thanks in advance

It is the EFA badge, so you were correct, maybe they had a Bo105 on loan for training

The EFA badge indeed; it almost looks like a combination of the official emblems of the (German) Heeresflieger and (French) ALAT... And in the beginning they DID have one or two Bo105's there when there weren't many Tigres delivered, if I remember correctly. There's pictures of them somewhere on the net:

And somewhere further on the official French Defence website: proof they still had 4 in 2013:

EFA : 8 Tigre HAP (hélicoptère d’appui protection), dont 3 à 4 HAD (hélicoptère appui-destruction) à terme, 2 Gazelle/ 5 Tigre KHS (Kampfhübschrauber - hélicoptère de combat), et 4 BO 105, simulateurs : 3 salles CAT (Computer Aided Training), 8 entraîneurs de procédures CPT (Cockpit Procedure Trainer), 8 FMS (Full Mission Simulator).

86+78 was first noted with HFWS in august 2013 and l/n in june this year, so may be it was transferred between units? (could be either way, though..)

Ok, bedankt. Apart. Het betrof 86+78 overigens, kwam gisteren binnen op Nörvenich.
