Julien Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm MBB Bo 105. MBB Bo105M, 81+00. Designed and built by Messerchmitt-Bölkow-Blohm more than 1500 Bo105s were built between 1970 and 1997. Originally developed for civil use by police and air ambulance operators the Bo105 went on to capture much of the light attack helicopter market in Western Europe. The Bo105M is a liaison and observation (VBH) helicopter and was operated by the Heeresflieger (German Army Air Corps). One hundred VBH versions were ordered with 81+00 the last to be delivered in 1984, later withdrawn from service in 2002 after serving with the 25th Air Corps Regiment, based at Laupheim. Most of the Heeresflieger's Bo105Ms were retired between 2002 and 2005 with Eurocopter donating MBB Bo105M 81+00 to the Museum in 2007, arriving by road from Donauworth, Germany on 4th May 2007.Info from the Helicopter museum Pics mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
