Mil-8/17

Just wondered if there has been any sightings of these recently.
I remember seeing them 2010 but nothing since.
Cheers

If you mean ZB697 & ZB698 then these were sold / transferred to Afghanistan Army or Air Force in March 2010.

One of these (serial 303 IIRC) was noted at Eindhoven a couple of years ago, with the small company of Prüst, along with 7 other Afghan Hips.
Don’t know what happened to them afterwards.

Bought by the UK Govt (not specifically the MoD) from the Bulgarians and "donated" to the Afghan Air Force once the pilots were trained - current whereabouts unclear!
