Already an idea on the test registrations used on the Indian Air Force PC-7s from P153 and further?
P152 is HB-HDZ, so I assume the HB-HEx series will be used?

Noted on 28-10-2014:

In and outside hangar 10 an Argentina Gendarmeria PC-6 was noted with the same serial, the GN-807. The one outside was checked on a plate that was on the rightside of the plane. The one inside was read on the wings and tail (photoproof).

In the hangar were also 2 full colour Oman PC-9s within between these 2 a PC-7Mk.II fuselage marked in the tail (on paper) with Modular 154.

A complete LOG will follow a.s.a.p.

Interesting. This is the first sighting of this a/c at Pilatus for rework.

PC-9M Modular 154 (ex PC-7Mk.II fuselage)

Was this a complete fuselage or just a part of it?

Outside Hall 10
PC-6 GN-807 Argentina Gendarmeria. Stored next to hangar

Strange that a total new a/c has been built using the same serial.

As far we could see a complete fuselage. According an employee only a part of the fuselage is used to repair the Oman PC-9's but the aircraft we saw was also with the tailsection!

[EvD]

Also, its engine was already mounted and there was a card on it stating 'PC-9(M) triebwerk'. To me this is quite solid proof that they use PC-7-II fuselages for this programme!

Not if you want to let your Insurance pay for the 'refurbishment' of the GN-807
