This MD-600 was built at Mesa, AZ as N29088 and became G-RHUG once delivered to Helidirect UK at the end of May 2000. Five days later the company decided that G-THUG was a more imposing registration for the frame but only lasted as such in the fleet for a couple of months. At the end of August 2000 it incurred substabntial damage during a landing mishap at Woolstaston, Shropshire, UK with no injuries. The hulk was stored firstly at Shoreham but is now part of the Shoot Aviation inventory. This company is Europe's largest provider of aviation sets, props and content for film and TV.
