New arrival at the museum


The Helicopter Museum has recently taken delivery of one of the most iconic aircraft ever produced, a JetRanger helicopter. Always on the lookout for the unusual, THM has secured an Italian-built AB206 example, delivered in September 1974 by Agusta Helicopters to the Italian state police, the Carabinieri, and based at Pratica di Mare, near Rome for security and law enforcement operations for more than 30 years.  The aircraft (serial MM80927) has been carefully restored in recent months by workers at the AgustaWestland facility in Frosinone. 
Following re-assembly the JetRanger is expected to be on display at the Museum by this weekend.
