Split area, Croatia, 2015

Post by frank kramer »

Seen today (13-8-15) thundering very low over Trogir harbour was Mi8MTV-1 "206". Remarkably it was not coded H-206 but just 206. It had additional KFOR titles and accordingto the Scramble database ut was last seen in august 2008... nice catch, if I do say so myself !

Nice catch indeed! More Croatian Hips have been seen without the H- prefix recently, seems like a change in serial system.

Noted at Velicka Gorica where 211, 275 and 276
Noted at Zagreb Lucko where 202, 220, 222, 223, 225, 227 and 229.
So it looks like al H- are removed.

The Mi-171's have never even carried the "H-" prefix as far as I know.
Also with the Mi-8's this is in progress already for at least since my previous visit to croatia (>5 years ago so slow progress )

A few days ago somebody posted something (in this topic?) about Mi-8 "210" noted flying (and photoproof) and being preserved at Pleso...
I think this was removed/edited later as I cannot find it anymore.

Was this an error and therefor removed?
Please let us know, so we can all forget about this or start digging into thius.

That was me. I noticed Mi-8 '210' at Split on 24 July. According to the database it is preserved at Pleso as H-210.
Photo proof: not flying in this photo, but I saw it return from a fire fighting mission:
