Handbag has asked for a pic of the Bell 206B Jet Ranger 11
ZK-HDU2 (c/n 1337) as used by Beck Helicopters of Eltham. Here we get both sides of it as seen at Ardmore on 02-12-1993. It carries the name "Araminta" on either side of the nose.
It was delivered to Petroluem Helicopters of Lafayette, Lousiana on 05-04-1974 as N59524. From march of 1984 it was with Tex-La Spray Systems Inc of Beaumont, Texas and the next I heard was that it was back with Bell Helicopter Textron Inc in June of 1987 before being passed to Edwards and Associates for onward sale. It was cancelled from the US register in December 1988 and came to Paraparaumu for rebuild by K P Domonkos. It was listed as ZK-HDU to Beck Helicopters Ltd on 18-10-1990 and is currently still with them.
