Bristow’s second AW189 ready for delivery

23-May-2014 Source: HeliHub.com

The second AW189 for delivery to Bristow Helicopters is ready for its flight from the AgustaWestland factory in Italy to the UK.  This follows its registration with UK’s Civil Aviation Authority on Thursday as G-OENA, with serial number 49007.

In strict numerical terms, this example precedes the first delivery, G-OENB serial 49008 but it is common for the major manufacturers to use the first produced aircraft from a larger fleet order as a “fleet development” example until more are delivered.  This is particularly useful for shake-down tests of the key systems.
