Photo Comment

Of the approximately eighty SA-365C Dauphin 2 built between 1977 and 1981, six or seven served with Heli-Union. Not much is known of F-GFPB pictured here, as Heli-Union used to shuffle helis around between it's bases in West-Africa. In any case, it started off as F-ODNJ before joining Heli-Union. It was based in Douala for a while in the mid 1990's, serving the oil industry off Cameroon's coast and flying for TOTAL and Pecten Cameroon (a subsidary of Shell). Believed to be withdrawn from use in 1998.
