[D-HADR] Jupiter T.1 ?. That one is interesting. Was in basic yellow/black RAF colours. The RAF placed an order for additional four Jupiters some days ago but how they manage to bring it on the flightline in the same week is a mystery for me... Maybe it is destined for the UK Police, but I don`t know if the actually ordered some H145 Anyway is ready for check flights and was outside for an engine test. C/n is 20309.

After Closer inspection of my Pictures I can add one further H145M to my log from today:
Inside Hangar C9 was a camouflaged Serbian AF H145M. It was partly dismantled and engine and Rotors were removed but the last two of the c/n wer readable ...46. So it should be 20246 D-HADZ/14503.
Obviously the Serbians did not accept this one until now.
