REQ Puma XW227 in the Netherlands?

Post by patrick dirksen »

Hi all,

As a reply to one of my logs I was told that the above Puma was sold at an auction last year, and moved to The netherlands. I didn't see anything about that, does someone know more?

Hi all,

It's been years since |I asked this question, but I never got any further with it. Anybody who knows more about the whereabouts of XW227?

Ik heb gelezen dat deze helikopter in 2002 gecrasht is.

Indeed it crashed. The fuselage went to WSV afterwards and was sold to The Netherlands in 2007 according to the owner of WSV. He told us it was to be used in a movie. No more details unfortunately, and as GerritsFinest says, what happened with it in The Netherlands is still a mystery apparently.
