Information

This aircraft was a part of a batch of 19 Alouette IIIs imported by Heli-Support Sweden AB between the years 1996-1998. The helicopters were brought to Gothenburg, put through a maintenance upgrade, provided with a civil registration and offered for sale. A few of them were sold, but the majority remained stranded in Gothenburg. They are now stored in an old mountain hangar that is being restored to become a one-of-its-kind aviation museum – the "Aeroseum".

This aircraft was imported to Sweden as SE-JEL in late-1997. It was brought here after its retirement from the Royal Netherlands Air Force by Heli-Support Sweden in cooperation with Roberts Aircraft Co. The helicopter was used for spare parts and the airframe was stored at Säve Airport, where it remains today.
