--- H145 overall silver, towed into flight test hangar D10
.... H145M Serbian AF. A H145M for Serbia in full marks but still incomplete was towed inside the production area. It had camo colours and roundel already applied but unfortunately the tail was not visible so no serial could be noted. One for the next time! At least good to see that they are nearing completion and should fly soon. Strange is the fact that the first aircraft for Serbia was in dark grey and this one camouflaged.

[D-HADD] H145M Serbia Air Force f/c (camo). towed outside of D10 for some minutes. Roundel Flag and unfortunately also the serial on the fin have been overtaped spotterproof. Anyway, it is complete now and ready for flight test.
[D-HADK] H145 REGA f/c; future reg HB-ZQJ overtaped but visible through sticker. Production flight c/n 20234, maybe 20233, needs final confirmation
[D-HADN] H145 Saudi M.o.I. colours but without titles, badge or serial. Must be first aircraft of the last batch for Saudi Arabia
D-HADW EC.145T2 Airbus prototype. Local flight
[D-HCBX] H135T3H Norsk Luftambulanse f/c; future reg LN-OUK also applied. Production flight and later back into hangar C9. Ready for delivery.
plus an all yellow unmarked H135 (obviously the same one like last visit) was towed

Some pictures, including the Serbian one, can be found on my Flickr page:

Addition:
It is quite likely that D-HADN is not a new aircraft but c/n 20109 which is in fact supposed to be future MOI-50, the first Saudi aircraft.
It has been at Ingolstadt-Manching since 2015 for pilot training.
Some c/n updates:
The Serbian H145M was reported to be c/n 20131 and the one for REGA (HB-ZQJ) is 20132

[AndyMarden]

The Serbian H145M was reported to be c/n 20131

Alex,
I think you mean 20231.
Andy

[spottervito]

Andy you are right of course...
I meant 20231 for the Serb and 20232 for the REGA one.

OO-NST H145 a/wh c/s. Ready for delivery with handover ceremony to customer inside hangar C9. This one is obviously ex D-HADY, of which I saw picures on the internet taken this week but I have no c/n for this bird unfortunately.
Furthermore, in hangar C9 was an interesting looking H145 in overall dark grey colours without markings on the tail, the front was blocked by equipment. A red H135 was also visible in a remote corner of the ramp but also remained unidentified.

Small Addition for the 16.10.: After Closer inspection of some analogue slides taken of the Serbian H145 D-HADR I noted it had a civilian yugoslav Registration just visible under the german test reg: It could be YU-ICE, maybe -IGE. Strange enough as this is obviosly a Military machine in full camo Colours. the other one (D-HADD) has the typical yugoslav style military Serial overtaped in the upper Corner of the fin.

Sadly no digital Pictures of this day as my SLR had a battery failure…
