Not exactly sure when or where these photo's were taken. But can only have been a month or two into the voyage. BTW..Good notes about the cooling fan being charged over. The cooling fan has direct implications for AFV installations.

Spotted last December: UH-25B (HUP-2) C/n 253, BuNo 130076. Location: Baris Business Park roadway roundabout in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. This aircraft was originally used by the US Navy and was later transferred to the French Navy. It is owned by Baris since 1973.
(I can post this here - a HUP is a HUP, eh?
)
Because of the drive-by nature of my own photo I added some more NMPs for clarity.
