REQ: German PAH Bo105P variants

[Joris Heeren]

Hi,

Are there any PAH Bo105P experts out there?

Through the years I have identified the following PAH Bo105P (sub)versions:

Bo105P
Bo105P1
Bo105P1A1
Bo105P1M

What are the differences? Can these versions be identified externally (apart from reading off the ID plate)?

MTIA,
Joris

Hi,

P1
- first Anti-tk Helicopter version for the german Army, features: old metal blades with "rectangular" tips + horizontal ramps

P1A
- AFAIK only Radar Wrng equipment added

P1A1
- composite M/R blades, digitalized WpnSys, "stairways"shaped ramps, grid type cover for "engine" Air Inlet in front of MGB (MELS, only used in summer), bigger vibration dampers (M/R)

P1M
- refitted P1A1 without WpnSys (ramps ) and with Bk117 T/R blades as Liasion Helicopter as replacement for the M version

Hope that helps a bit,

Michael.
