Req: Dutch Alouette in Chad??

Post by bepe »

Hi all :D
I often read that Chad received in January 1995 two former KLu Alouette III (c/n 1302 and 1342), but I never saw any picture of them... :roll:
I really doubt about the reality of their arrival in Africa, now ... :?
Does anyone have any confirmation or information (codes in "TT-xxx" series, i.e. ...) about these heloes, please ?
Best regards from France 8)

Can't say for sure if this is an ex KLu example, but All3 TT-OAH was noted last year in Alverca/ Portugal for Maintenance i guess.

I saw them when they were picked up at Soesterberg by C-130 TT-PAF. At that time they were unmarked.

you can find some photos and information about the delivery to Chad in the book 'Gentille Alouette - een leeuwerik met klasse' (A. van Rhijn, oktober2006) p.24 and 25.
