hi all

i was wondering if any of you locals could answer this query for me..... i remember that 3 AW.139's from the Dubai Air Wing were based here, the serials were DU-140,141 and 142, are they still based and if so do you actually see them parked up etc?

cheers

Hi Phil

These's AW139's are I believe no longer in the country. The have been replaced by a pair of military examples, sorry I cant recall the serials. However they are not Fairoaks based as the hangerage they used is no longer available as it is used by a film production company.

Well that's a shame they have left....i did managed to catch one of them whilst it was out and about a few years ago.

I had always thought that 2 of the 3 were brought in on C17 to spend the summer here, then returned to UAE each autumn.
