Is this one of the Brantly helicopters ?

Also read in Scramble magazine that there also is a Robinson R.44. Maybe this one has a Belgian (OO-) registration ??

Brandly B2 D-HEFO is always outside (Italian flag c/s).

The owner has a second Brandly B2 D-HEBE and R44 Astro OO-NKM. Most of the time they are parked inside the 'hangar'.

See the entry on the Scramble Wiki; D-HEFO is always outside, D-HEBE and OO-NKM are usually inside, but were also seen outside on Saturday 29/3 (and inside again on 30th).

OO-NKM very much outside today and parked on the spot where normally (D-HEFO) can be seen; (D-HEFO) parked outside as well. No sign of D-HEBE (but doing 120 on the motorway you can't see everything.. :roll: )

OO-NKM outside today (26 April 2008), with a hand-written "for sale" sign in Dutch language.

Last night (15-Aug-2012) I drove past this location and caught a glimpse of an EC120B or EC130B4 in dark red colours. No possibility to read any registration. Anyone having an idea about its ID?

Still outside today. It was definitely an EC130, dark red colours with a golden cheatline, and it looked a bit like the registration started with OE-, but I'm not terribly sure of that... I was doing 120 on the motorway again :roll:

That is very well possible. Thanks, Jack. See picture of OO-EVL at

OO-EVL is owned by Peter van Zutphen, who lives in Best. He was the guy who had ordered the first Dutch R66. Due to the problems with its EASA certification he decided to go for an EC130B.
