Looking at other website, it looks like they finally departed as the picture is from Austria (21 September 2024).

Hi Martijn,
I am pretty sure that it will go to IAS (International Aircraft Service) of Ivory Coast. Full registration could be TU-HAM and c/n 21327. Confirmation of this required.
IAS operates a Dauphin in similar colours (TU-HAC)...

cheers
Alex
