[D-HADK] H145 Phillipine Coast Guard, (c/n 20273 confirmed),engine test. Pilote training at Ingolstadt seems to be completed, the aircraft disappeared in a hangar here after the test. PCG-145 clerly readable under sticker.
D-HADX EC.145T2 Airbus testbed (c/n 20001), local flight as "Redfox 25"
[D-HBTJ] H145 GAMA Aviation f/c. c/n 20290 (production flight as "Redfox 5"). Aircraft is ready for delivery, the UK flag was blowing at the entrance...
[D-HBTS] H145M Serbian AF f/c. (c/n 20236) The serbian roundel + serial 14502 were taken up again and are not covered by a sticker.
[D-HCBH] H135.3H all white c/s. Testflight as "Redfox 14", Finally I know the c/n for this one, 2079. Has not been delivered since May, don`t know why.
[D-HCBK] H135.3.. at the back of the hangar where D-HECK was towed in. No clue on c/n or operator.
[D-HCBR] H145 all silver, no titles. (c/n or operator unknown), outside on the ramp.
[D-HCBS] H145M is obviously the last one for the Serbian AF regarding the camo colours, but has no roundel or serial applied. So it should become 14506, but I still do not know a c/n for this one.
[D-HECK] H135.3H, (and operator unknown) light metallic blue/dark blue c/s. Returned from production flight
[D-HMBF] H145M Hungarian AF ?, Still no c/n known. Has no roundel, serial etc so the operator itself is also unconfirmed.

At the Airbus hangar at Augsburg Airport I noted two new SAR helis for the german armed forces on 07.10.:
D-HADF and D-HADL. Both were in full colours and had serials and roundel overtaped. Of D-HADL the last digit of the german serial was readable "7" so it will become 77+07. c/n of D-HADL is 20274, D-HADF is unknown.
EC.145C2 HB-ZRB plus Bo105 D-HDFU were also present.
Apart from that a GN Sea Lynx was in the hangar for deep maintenance.

The order was changed by Serbia: one less for the AF and one extra for the MoI.
If this one will go to Serbia, it will likely get a YU-registration.
Last issue of Scramble Magazine published the future YU-registration, but I do not have this info avaialbale right now.

Furthermore, two rows of trees and bushes have been planted inside the factory grounds to prevent viewing from outside. They show some signs of paranoia it seems...

Thank you for your reports, very interesting.
At your pictures I think I see CGH instead of CHG for the Phillipine H145.
