The Lynx was the 274.

Lynx Has.2 265:
-----> Cabin 265 + tail section of 275
* The cabin of Lynx 275 was present in hangar 1/maintenance hangar. Lynx 275 was withdrawn from use according an officer (exceeded flight hours).

SA-365 1x
-----> Our team asked the maintenance guys for the serial of this Dauphin but they couldn't help us out, until one guy recalled they had pictures of this chopper on their PC. The pictures (a complete walk-around, incl. a picture of the c/n plate) revealed: SA.365F, c/n 6225, F-ZKDR, manufacturing date: dec.1990.
According the same guys the Dauphin was in use by Eurocopter as testbed for the Tigre programme and recently donated to the Marine for spare parts.

Remarkable detail is that - according the well-known books and databases - this "SA.365M Panther" was reported in the early 1990s at Marseille, as intended for the Angolan Air Force.

So that's the reason why I've wrote down 275 and a other spotter saw 265.
I've read it on the tail and the other guy on the nose!
Thanks for the info.

Maybe the following info is of interest to some of you.
The different boards revealed the following choppers as assigned to the Hyeres based squadrons:
SA.365: 313, 318 and 322
SA.565: 362, 403, 452, 466, 507, 522 and 524
Lynx: 276, 623, 801 and 804
Alouette III: 2013, 219, 237 and 244
(* all other Lynx helicopters noted during the show were wfu/stored and thus not on the list)

Remarkable is Panther 403. In the past it was reported that this machine was transferred to the Marine but was never noted in service until recently. Last November a friend noted the 403 at Hyeres and he was convinced he read it off correctly....

Did anyone check the badge of the Super Etendard 35? Wonder if it was with the local 10S as they should have an Etendard on strength.
