Information about 10405
This aircraft was originally constructed by Aérospatiale in Marignane, France, but was dismantled right after completion and shipped to Sweden. The company FFV Aerotech in Linköping assembled the helicopter according to the Air Force's specifications and completed the aircraft in 1990. It was given the number "95", nicknamed "Victoria", and was stationed at the F17 Air Force Base in Ronneby.
The helicopter type, which was designated HKP 10, served as a military search and rescue aircraft and operated parallel to BO105s and Bell 204s, but outlived them both.
ARMED FORCES HELICOPTER WING
1998 saw the structural birth of a new joint helicopter force - the Swedish Armed Forces Helicopter Wing. From 1 January 1999 the unit merged the helicopter operations from all the three military branches (Air Force, Army, and Navy) together. The new organisation had no impact on the HKP 10s other than providing them with a slightly wider range of tasks.
H-95 is one of nine remaining Super Pumas in the fleet. Three sister ships (10403, 10406 and 10408) were modified for foreign peacekeeping operations by HeliOne in Norway between 2007 and 2008. These were designated “B” models. Two other helicopters (10402 and 10407) were modified to national medical evacuation trainers (“B-light”) by HeliOne in 2009. These were designated “D” models. The four remaining helicopters (10405, 10410, 10411 and 10412) are designated “A” models.
The scheduled civil search and rescue and military rescue alert of the Swedish Armed Forces was gradually terminated between 2002-2010. The rescue operations were inherited by the Swedish Maritime Administration (SMA Helicopter Rescue). The Super Pumas are still used for rescue training and various utility works.
RETIREMENT
The HKP 10 (A, B and D) is the next helicopter type destined for retirement in the Swedish Armed Forces. The future organization will consist of 18 HKP 14 (NH90), 20 HKP 15 (AW.109) and 15 HKP 16 (Black Hawk).
