Photo Comment

Another good example of the attractive camouflage schemes worn by Moroccan military aircraft, so much nicer to see than the currently ubiquitous grey or olive drab. Italy supplied Morocco with 12 of these licence-built heavylifters, six in 1979 and six in 1982, of which nine are said now to be in operation with the Rabat-Salé based Escadre Hélicoptère
