@ K2G: could you please contact me again (preferably with e-mail adress)? For unknown reasons I could not reply to your PM (others worked fine), tried it on different browsers.

For those waiting for logs from here: I was away in South America but this week I plan to go again!

[D-HADB] BK.117D3 ADAC Luftrettung, towed outside of D10/2 for engine test (c/n 21208). If they continue their registration system, this will be future D-HYAT
(HZ-....) BK.117D3 The Helicopter Company. See log from 04/05. Was on the same place like last time but now it has lost its testreg (D-HADL probably). The HZ-... registration was blocked by the same stuff. Today a Saudi flag was blowing - I think it will be delivered very soon.

[D-HBKQ] BK.117D3 The Helicopter Company. Inside D10/4. C/n 21205 confirmed by box.
[D-HCBA] EC.135.3H silver/anthrazite colours. Future registration "PK-AMM" also applied plus Putra Perkasa Abadi (PPA) logo. Towed from C9 into the logistics centre, so I guess it will be prepared for shipment as airfreight. There was a box with c/n 2219 beside, that might be the c/n.
[D-HCBG] EC.135.3H ?? primer, noted in the back of D10, no further details
[D-HCBI] EC.135.3H Armada noted in the back of D10, no further details. Almost sure, this must be HE.26-33A/10299/01-1202 from my last visit here.
[D-HCBJ] EC.135.3H Royal Maroc AF engine test, later transferred to Ingolstadt as "Redfox 22" where it is currently based for crewtraining. C/n 2217
[D-HCBL] EC.135.3H Royal Maroc AF, towed outside of D10 and back. (c/n ?)
[D-HCBM] EC.135.3H primer (c/n 2224), production flight
[D-H...) EC.135.3H unidentified in full Helikopter Air Transport (ÖAMTC) colours inside C9. So probably OE-XVS, that would be the next one.

[spottervito]

As expected the Saudi H145 for "The Helicopter Company" departed. But it did not get far - it landed at Augsburg Airport where I saw it an hour ago as HZ-RC57.
Maybe to complete customs.
As reported earlier the c/n should be 21200 taken from a box in the hangar but this has to be confirmed.

Would that not rather be 21174 (see your post from 25th January 2023) ?

[D-HBKA] BK.117D3 all dark yellow/black window frame (same colours as HADV). Outside of C9/1 for acceptance flight as "Redfox 10". C/n is 21174

Quite Some time ago I noticed (indoors) a Tiger UHT with text on the vert. tail. 'mr1 . flight . test’ painted in bright orange .

Could not read it off there and then. Still curious What is the ID of this bird?
(heli war damals ein wenig zerlegt).

[Glidepath]

Note:

it really said: M R 1, so definitly. not 'NR1'

inside the hangars was an unidentified City Airbus (probably D-HCIA), an all black BK.117 (might go to South Africa - there was a flag blowing) plus a unidentified Bavarian Police BK.117. Noted on a trailer was the middle part of a black NH90 fuselage marked as "Cleo" or something similar.

Nothing much to see unfortunately around 14:30, but parked inside one of the hangars was H145 D-HADI in primer colours. Anyone who knows more about this one?
