D-HADW BK.117D3 Airbus (local flight as "Redfox 25")
[D-HBKD] BK.117D3m Serbian AF f/c. The first one of the follow-on order for 15 units is ready. Towed rotorless and with missing panels into the production area. The camouflage is similar to the ones already in use, but they choosed a toned-down roundel this time. The serial was also applied, but taped over. Too far away to see anything.
[D-HBKH] BK.117D3 overall white with black cockpit frame
[D-HBKO] BK.117D3 overall black with curved red stripe. Towed rotorless into production area
[D-HBKP] BK.117D3 primer (c/n 21151), towed into production area

an completely unmarked EC.135 in full Spanish "Guardia Civil" colours was noted inside hangar D10. It has no testreg, serial or spanish code applied so far. Obviously one for the next time.

An additional note is that the whole hangar C12 on the south side has been completely removed. I guess they will build a new one there but until then it means that we have an unobstructed view of the whole ramp from that position for some 50 metres or so.

plus an unmarked spanish EC.135 in full Policia Nacional colours but without any markings nor testreg. The only thing applied was "Angel 44" on the tail, probably the future callsign. It was towed from the paintshop into the production area.
Today was the day of new unmarked spanish helicopters: Another EC.135 without testreg or any other markings but in full Guardia Civil colours was towed from the production area into the final assembly hangar D10.
I guess this summer will be spanish weeks here!
Furthermore, an unidentified Juno HT.1 was inside hangar C9, next to the Austrian one.

Angel 44 has c/n 2186

Juno HT.1 G-CMIT has been flown to the UK yesterday. So probably that was the unidentified one I saw in hangar C9 on Wednesday.

09 BK.117D2m Hung. AF/ 86 HE. Obviously here for maintenance or modifications. Was sitting outside in a corner of the ramp.

[D-HADB] BK.117D3 Oman Police, outside, later into D10/1 (c/n 21123)

[D-HADN] BK.117D3 wh/bl/r colours, production flight as "Redfox 7", c/n 21157. This should be the first one for "The Helicopter Company" (THC) from Saudi Arabia.
[D-HADT] BK.117D3 all dark grey, outside of D10
D-HADW BK.117D3 Airbus, in&out of C7
[D-HBTA] BK.117D3 Oman Police, outside, later into C7

D-HTSC EC.135T3 Airbus, outside of C10 (c/n 0832)
OK-BYD EC.135T2 Policie maintenance visitor, Checkflight as "Redfox 25"
---- BK.117D3 Pegaso Helicopters. Has full markings including Mexican flag. The only thing missing is the new registration. Was towed to the shipment hangar F8a, most probably to prepare it for airfreight. Comparing its colours and equipment I`m almost sure that it must be ex D-HBKH (c/n 21140) but time will tell.

The two Oman Police helicopters were presented to a delegation from Oman, together with the demonstrator for the armed version (D-HCBS). Hopefully a new customer!

84+64 CH-53GS Lw/HSG64 outside on the ramp
[98+53] NH.90NFH Marine, inside F8
[D-HADD] BK.117D3 white/black colours. Shortly outside of D10. The future registration was already applied under a sticker but was hard to read over the distance. It should be PS-INE or -INB.
[D-HADE] BK.117D3 Pegaso Helicopters f/c. Confirms my assumption from last visit, c/n is 21142. Acceptance flight+handover to a delegation from Mexico. The Mexican registration was unfortunately missing.
D-HADS BK.117D2 Airbus, local flight as "Redfox 10"
D-HADW BK.117D3 Airbus, Engine test (c/n 20002)
[D-HADY] BK.117D3 The Helicopter Company (wh/bl/red colours). Engine test. C/n 21111. C/n 21111 was also reported for the Bavarian Police as D-HPBA, but obviously there was a change on the production line.
[D-HBKH] BK.117D3 Pegaso Helicopters f/c. C/n 21140. Parked on the ramp in front of C9 and presented to customer.
[D-HBKO] BK.117D(3) just the tail of this dark coloured H145 with a small red stripe was seen in the back of D10
[D-HBTA ] BK.117D3 Oman Police (under rework isde C7)
[D-HCBE] Juno HT.1 RAF. If I counted correctly, this is the fith and last one for UK. Was shortly outside of D10 when they shifted helicopters around when the Saudi D-HADY was moved inside.
[D-HCBF] EC.135.3H white/blue colours. Two production flights. C/n 2180
[D-HCBH] Juno HT.1 RAF production flight as "Redfox 14"
[D-HCBK] EC.135.3H Guardia Civil (c/n 2185), inside D10
D-HCIA City Airbus AH810 Airbus (inside hangar C9/4)
D-HDFU Bo105CBS-5 Airbus, towed outside from C7a (c/n S-206)
--- c/n 0022 H160 towed into production hangar
In hangar C9 was a box with c/n 21104. Behind that was a part of a white H145 visible with a black window frame. In fact similar to the colours of Pegaso, but I cannot confirm that they get this third helicopter.

Is 09 (H145M) from Hungary still there?

Is 09 (H145M) from Hungary still there?

On Wednesday I did not see it otherwise I would have posted it. The hangar where it resides (C7 West) was closed then. Last week I saw it flying locally on ADSB with a Redfox-callsign, so probably it is still here.

D-HECD Bo 105M Airbus. This helicopter used as G.I.A with the Lehrwerkstatt was first seen for about 8 years. Was towed around. Unfortunately even after more than a decade, I still have no former serial or c/n for this one!

I`m away the next three weeks on holiday to the UK, so no reports from my side from here until September! But I think they will have factory holidays here also.

[Marijn]

H135 Juno G-CMIU (cn 2184, ex D-HCBJ according to Rotorspot) was flown to the UK today.

[Key]

I`m away the next three weeks on holiday to the UK, so no reports from my side from here until September! But I think they will have factory holidays here also.

Many thanks for your continuous and extensive reporting from here, and elsewhere. Hope you're having a great holiday!

Erik

P.S. It would seem appropriate for Airbus to co-ordinate its factory holidays with yours.
