New helicopters for Moroccan Gendarmerie

摘要

A BATCH of five second-hand EC145s has been delivered to the Gendarmerie Royale Marocaine (GRM, Royal Moroccan Gendarmerie). All were operated for the last 15 years by REGA, the Swiss Air-Rescue service. They departed REGA's base at Zurich Airport, Switzerland on November 19, making a fuel stopover in Spain before continuing to Rabat, Morocco, where they were due to arrive on November 21. All still wore REGA's distinctive red and white colour scheme, but their Swiss registrations were taped over with new Moroccan serials, while small Moroccan flags were applied to their fuselages and the GRM badge on the tail. They will have full Gendarmerie colours applied at Rabat.
