This helicopter was constructed by Aérospatiale in Marginane (France) in 1992 and was delivered to Sweden in January of 1993. It was purchased by Cardinal Hotel & Fastighets AB in Växjö but was operated by Osterman Helicopter from the base in Norrköping. It didn’t particularly come as a bolt from the blue when the machine was given the rather appropriate nickname “Lingon med mjölk”, which is Swedish for “red whortleberries in milk”.
The helicopter was exported to Argentina after only 11 months in Sweden.
