Hi Pieter,

in your report you list:-
Maintenance part:
EC.135P2: 271
AW.139: 273 & 275

It should be 278 & 275 (as 273 has not been used yet by the IAC).

I also had a base visit (on Friday 15th May) and PC-9 263 was on overhaul in the maintenance hangar. PC-9 264 was on the flightline then - so I'm pretty certain it was the one you saw depart.

see a selection of photos I took on:-

Hi Gerry,

Your correct about 273, should be 278. And thanks for the information on the 263/264. I noticed from some photoreports that 263 was in the maintenance hangar (on 26th of may). This was the only hangar I didn't visit. Don't know why not, as others did. I believe Alouette III 202 is there as well, I needed that one.

Very nice collection of pictures you have on the IAC.


Pieter.
