Weren’t there a few Pumas that were taken, no idea if they would have been used or ended up as hangar queens? Or did they all get destroyed?

The ex-Argentine Coastguard Puma was eventually rebuilt as an HC1 as ZE449, and joined the RAF in 2001 (after being used as a ground instruction airframe for several years). Served in Iraq amongst other places. Badly damaged in a crash in 2009.

The ex-Argentine Chinook was also used for ground instruction purposes (Loadmaster training was one IIRC) before rear parts of it were used in the rebuild of ZA704. (It had been given an RAF serial (ZH257) in anticipation of a full rebuild at one stage.) IIRC the fuselage is still used at Odiham for GI.

In addition to the ex-Argentine A109s used for 25 years by the AAC, a couple of other ex-Argentine aircraft were then ‘reused’ for various purposes (which also fit into the ‘thread about ex-Museum airframes being re-used).

The comopsite MB339 at one stage at Yeovilton was given to Rolls Royce for intergration trials as part of the submission for the US JPATS contest. It’s authentic colour scheme was replaced by a red and white one. I beleive RR Heritage Trust at Derby has it now.

Huey AE-406 is used as a ground trainer at Valley, having been at MAF at Middle Wallop at one stage. Never seen a pic of it since it left MW.
