conor1939 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Hi I'm thinking about dioramas, and was wondering who, if anyone, operated the Twin Huey in Bosnia during the early UN operations. I've found this photograph but I can't be sure of the helicopter's operator... any help would be much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daryl_five_zero Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 The only concrete info I can find on the picture above is that it is 'a United Nations helicopter on Route to Zagreb Airport from Sarajevo' 4. September 1992. However, I am going to make an educated (haha) guess that it is a Canadian CH-135. Canada operated the CH-135 from 1972-1998, so it fits in with the timeframe. As far as I can make out, Canada had a prominent role in the opening of Sarajevo Airport in 1992.Also, hereis a picture of a CH-135 at the RCAF memorial museum, in UN livery. Further to that, here is a picture of a CH-135 evacuating a wounded UN soldier in Bosnia, 1994 So yeah, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it is a Canadian CH-135. Sorry I can't give any more info than that. Daryl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conor1939 Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 I suspected it might have been a CH-135 but couldnt find any info, you've been a fantastic help, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daryl_five_zero Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 No problem. Trying to find stuff out like that really interests me, so it was fun snooping around the 'net trying to get some answers. As a fun side-fact; the CH-135 pictured at the museum was the first CH-135 made. Guess that's why it's in a museum, eh? Still, unless anyone can conclusively say so, don't take my word as gospel!
