Heli type query

[nomdeplume]

Apologies for asking an "anorak" question, but I'm only a PPL when it comes to rotaries so hope I'll be forgiven.
I saw a new (to me) heli which had lifted from Battersea this afternoon.
Modern, good looking design - spoilt only by a hideous (IMHO) colour scheme.
Reg looked like VP-CAF
I'd guess one of the new Eurocopters.
Anyone know which model?

fenestron tail and funny yet beautifull skids? quiet ? must be the All new Euocopter ec120 the jetranger crusher!! some naff colours though.
check it out on www.eurocopter.com
cant be the ec130 as theres none about , likewise the ec145

if you get a chance id reccomend flying it , its grrrrrrrreat . London helicopter center have one i think.


adn i get paid to fly one ,

god i love my life

ciao.

My guess would be the 135 that's based at Redhill, reg is VP-CEO. I guess that's the boss and his deputy.

I think you'll find that VP-CAF is an EC 135 operated by Fayair. The a/c is based at Stansted and is mainly used as corporate transport for Mohammad Al Fayed and his staff.

Tail Skid.
That must have been it - and probably explains the hideous colour scheme!
