? BK.117D3m Serbian AF, unidentified, inside storage hangar

My pleasure

I paid another visit here today. The bushes and shrubbery along the B16 road have been cut recently - now offering much better views on the heliport than before.

LOG Donauwoerth 30/01/2025

74+58 Tiger UHT Heer, shortly outside
79+46 NH.90TTH Heer, outside for some tests
84+65 CH-53GA Lw/HSG64, outside for engine test
[98+49] (74+49) Tiger UHT Heer, the long-term Tiger testbed was towed outside for a local flight.
[98+82] (HT.29-41/01-14)03 NH.90MSPT Armada, outside for engine test. Spanish markings and serial are firmly overtaped, only the '03' on the nose remains.
[D-HADE] (HB-...?) BK.117D3 KKCG AG, production flight (c/n 21352)
[D-HADM] (F-ZBQT) BK.117D3 Securité Civile, towed outside. The tie-up D-HADM to F-ZBQT/21354 is very likely but needs final confirmation.
[D-HBKE] (19-..) BK.117D3m Cyprus National Guard, again, shortly outside (c/n 21171)
[D-HBTI] (D-HPBH)/8 BK.117D3 Polizei Bayern, towed into flight test hangar ( c/n 21346)
[D-HECD] EC.135.3H Primer (c/n 2291), production flight
[D-HECK] EC.135.3H primer (c/n 2293), outside for engine test
[D-HECU] LN-OUM EC.135T3H Norsk Luftambulanse f/c. Towed (c/n 2290?)
[D-HECV] 5N-CDT EC.135.3H Bristow Nigeria, inside flight test hangar (c/n 2295)
[D-HMBA] / LY-HYY BK.117D3 Lithuania Border Guard, production flight (c/n 21359 ?). The first one (D-HBTW/LY-HWW) is now flying out of Augsburg for crewtraining. It seems logical that a "LY-HXX" also exists. This should be 21357, that was reported to be for Lithuania. Confirmation required, though.

[F17_114PM]

According to newspaper reports, the first two Cypriots are to be delivered in February.

an unidentified H145 in primer was towed to the final assembly line.

[D-HADT] BK.117D3 all white. Winch trials at the airfield. Initially I thought this is another one for Heligo India. But the helicopter had a winch mounted and I am not sure if Heligo will get one on their helicopters
