Back to doing some research tonight.

An online news report shows the KA-27 (EDIT: actually KA-28) as being on the back of ship number 012 which the reporter said was from the Vietnam Navy. I looked carefully at my photos and realised I'd completely missed the chopper amongst the deck hardware. It was partly covered with a tarpaulin but had a panel showing the number "27".

A bit more research and I got this Vietnamese news webpage of the ship's visit to Malaysia with a photo of KA-28 7527 (Edited) on deck.

That's what I call a nice tieup!

Confirmed by video footage here:-

The same video shows the helicopters that took part in the fleet review flypast at the beginning. Looks like the same ones that were used in the demos. I can't see an Alouette on the deck of any of the ships reviewed in the film unfortunately.

Final ship/heli tieup is for ship number 575 - CNS Yueyang of the China Navy. In the open hangar was the tail of a Harbin Z-9C.

Lots of image enhancement of multiple raw files, shows it to be 9417. Pictured here in May 2018.

The Vietnamese Kamov (actually a Ka-28) is 7527.

[AndyMarden]

And the Chinese Harbin is a Z-9D

Thanks for both corrections Andy. Much appreciated.

Hi all just doing a tidy up of my logs for the year and realise I still need tie ups for the PC-7's that flew in the opening ceremony on the 26th of March.There is a list of the one's that took part in the rehearsals on the 24th but not the 26th.
I viewed these from the hotel as I was unable to enter the show until 10 am the opening display being around 8 am.
If anyone can supply these I'd be very grateful.

Unfortunately I can't help, as I didn't arrive on the island till the 27th.
