This aircraft was constructed in 1981. It began its career in France and was later operated in Ireland. It was imported to Sweden in September of 2010 and is stationed at Northern Helicopters's large flight school in Jönköping.

The helicopter was transferred to the Romanian registry in December 2010, but the aircraft itself stayed in Sweden.

It was involved in a training accident at Jönköping-Axamo Airport on 16 March 2011, as its skid gear collapsed during landing. The aircraft was restored and returned to service.

It was incorporated in Northern Helicopters' Romanian JAR-OPS company (Northern Helicopters International SRL) in mid-2011, offering commercial operations in Sweden.
