A V-5 that just returned from a United National deployment in Central African Republic. Its UN markings and registration (UNO-566P) are still visible. Its construction number is not clear, 144M07?. likewise its former identity, this could be SMH-4308. Pictured during a very fine 4Aviation tour that lead to most bases of the SLAF.
