Interesting that the Navy mentions three A109Es but there was a fourth N42-129
It carried a Navy serial but is only ever reported as having carried ARDU titles. Has anyone anything to add about this mystery chopper? Attached Image  |

I have been trying for some time Martin but it is usually too high when it goes past me here, I will catch it eventually.

Thanks Rod.
I notice that like myself you refer to it as an "Augusta" Agusta even though that is it's correct spelling somehow doesn't seem right. Perhaps it is from the way the famous Italian Motorcycle of the same name has been pronounced for years. It was always Agastini's Augusta not Agastini's Agusta! :rolleyes: |

The first URL was to the 29th March 2012 edition of Navy News which will always change to the current edition what ever that might be - so... in the meantime here is a photo: http://www.navy.gov.au/w/images/20120309ran8109938_012.jpg
