    I thought that was the company who bought the ex-IAC 260E's?
    Perhaps they are the ex-IAC aircraft in a new colour scheme?

    If that's the case there's life in the old girls yet. Pity we couldn't keep a few at home.

    Like other ex-IAC aircraft (Dauphin's, Gazelle, Dove) they will 'soldier on' (pardon the pun!) in private ownership for many years to come.

    It would have been nice if a few could have been retained here alright (either in IAC or private ownership). But I suppose we have a smaller aviation sector so less private buyers out there.

    The IAC did however retain one example for their museum collection.
