The Russian Ka-27PL was onboard the Admiral Kharlamov.
But looks like they indeed had 2 onboard cause 1 day earlier I've seen the:
35003517211/50(yellow) KA-27PL

I wonder were they put the 2nd one. We organised a self guided tour aboard the ship and visited almost everything from the engineroom, crewrooms, storage rooms, we found dogs, cats, lost sailors etc but didn't found a second helicopter. I must admit that I didn't read the c/n myself, only the code....

Now I'am really interested in the correct c/n

Thanks for the info
Regards
Lesley
