Helicopters arrive for display at Morayvia

摘要

Agusta-Westland Merlin HM1 ZH821 has been acquired by Scottish attraction Morayvia. The aircraft had previously been in storage at Shawbury in Shropshire and was transported to its new home at Kinloss by Spey Bay's LAS Haulage on June 26. The aircraft is the first production Merlin HM1 - it never served with the Royal Navy but was used by Westland for development work. It got airborne for the first time on December 6, 1995 and was withdrawn following a relatively short flying 'life' of 273 hours.
