French Army helicopters - Paris Air Show
Posted: Sat Sep 23, 2023 3:10 pm
Hi all
I have been trying to tie up the serial numbers for French Army helicopters seen at the Paris Air Show in 1969 & 1985 where I was only able to read codes due to their remote parking.
In searches I did some time ago I came up with some possibilities (as shown in brackets below) but it would be nice to get a confirmation on these.
I appreciate this is a bit of a ‘long-shot’ request but, who knows? If anyone can offer any thoughts on serial numbers for the below, I’d be grateful.
Le Bourget 7 June 69
Alouette II

Le Bourget 6 June 85
Gazelle

AFI (1027)
AFJ (1153)
AFT
BTX
BTY
BXA (4175)

Whilst on the subject, I also have one additional machine I need to tie up, which is -
AMO Gazelle seen at Le Luc de Cannet on 5 Nov 98.
Many thanks to anyone in a position to tie up any of these.
