Former Libyan Police serial LC2295 was delivered to Malta Air Squadron on 24 December 1992. It was pictured here when the SA316 was under maintenance and awaiting some parts. The Alouette III then served the Air Squadron/2nd Regiment up to April 1997 when it was stored up to late 1999. The civil look-a-like serial was cancelled on 1 May 2000 and the helicopter received the military serial AS9211. It was noted with the Armed Forces of Malta in a new grey colour scheme from September 2011. In late 2021, it was still active with the Air Wing.
