friendly, Etienne

Well done Etienne

with my “holy & vatican’s ” & friendly greetings,

Etienne

Well done Etienne and thanks for your time and effort. HV-TSWN is as the photo credit records, a registration used for film purposes only, but good try! The real aircraft is actually G-CLPR which had a nasty landing accident in 2009 at Goodwood airfield. The aircraft was then sold in the US as N396KT and is now out of service. The c/n is a mystery as the real c/n is 12675 and not 101 as reported by Airport-Data.

VATICAN’s FLEET !!

Finally, with my own ‘time-machine’,Newforest, I could see yesterday (on France 3) this ‘holy’ helico ;

another view of the same one ;http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/photo/000395185.html

You bad boy Tony, we were all spotters once upon a time!

Your link Kervyn refers to June 9th and my time machine is not working.

Come in Avion!

Many many years ago we got a pair of L-39’s, first in the UK and while we were prepping one outside for paint, we marked it up with a Vatican reg to confuse all the spotters at the fence where it was visible… sorry, our idea of a larf at the time 🙂

A lucky day ?? ( Friday 13 !!)

Another way to try it ; a German one …. ( ZDF one !)

try your luck, Newforest……..:)

friendly, Etienne

‘AVION ANCIEN’, see your p.m. box, please

There’s only one person to answer your query, come in AVION ANCIEN!!

thanks for your reply, Newforest..

indeed, it’s really crazy !!:stupid:

a pseudo-reg ?? >>yes, probably … but I’ve seen it…!!

BUT I’d like to have some views of it… PLEASE , s’il vous plait….!!

friendly, Etienne

Even if you were a Frenchman but not living in France, you would not be allowed to watch it. Being a non German but living close to France, I am also not allowed to view it. It must be really controversial don’t you think?!

The suggested registration HV-EIFC seems so out of sequence that it is possibly a pseudo reg.

Vatican aircraft…

well, guys, I’ve seen one …!!!

on Sunday evening / France 3/ in the episode “le trésor du commercant”… 🙂

a Cessna registered HV-EIFC …>> well visible .. twice <<< !!

here is the URL of the video ;http://www.france3.fr/emission/le-5e-commandement/diffusion-du-08-06-2014-21h30

BUT… it seems I’m not allowed to watch it…. being not a Frenchman 😡 !!!

maybe you can select some good views from it (or another source )??:confused:

AU SECOURS…. HELP…!!

friendly, Etienne

Awhile back on this forum, someone posted a photo of the Pope in a Agusta 139…it had Italian registration and was a company demonstrator.
If he used it frequently, I’m sure Agusta would work with the Vatican for a temporary registration that could be attached as a decal.

But with the current Pope’s efforts to downplay the trappings of the office, I wouldn’t think that would happen anytime soon…lest folks get the idea he has a very expensive helicopter of his own.

Well for the sake of forum research, I forsook improving my suntan and watched the programme (which came from 2008!). The aircraft is a Diamond DA-40 and I couldn’t read the registration as it went too fast! The radio call sign appeared to be ‘V V E’ which would not have been a Vatican number as the first would presumably have started as ‘AAA’. A three letter call sign in that region would suggest a Swiss plane. The helicopter in the background was German registered. If anyone recorded it (!!), slow it down and check the registrations……………….

Mybe not

Gibraltar has, or had VR-G for many years but I don’t recall it being used.

Ireland had EJ- allocated, but never used it. That was EI,EJ allocated so manybe eventually they will.

Actually, it is on ZDF neo at 3.00 pm on Sunday which is going to be difficult to stay in for over two hours with the current weather! It looks as though it might be repeated on Monday, so will probably try and catch it then.

VATICAN AIRCRAFT ? …!

Yes, Newforest…

I’ve already found the original name of the series ; ‘Ihr Aftrag, Pater Castell”

& here you have a view of the pilot & the passenger ;http://www.google.be/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.weltrecords.de%2Fimg%2Fcover%2F000%2F000%2F983%2F000000983511.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mymediawelt.de%2Fmovies%2Fdetails%2F983511__ihr_auftrag_pater_castell_staffel_1-ulrich_zrenner.html&h=1500&w=1062&tbnid=Nh2l4msofw2G2M%3A&zoom=1&docid=VaC3YYZHY2QG4M&ei=M7qRU4fnE4LbywP35YDQBw&tbm=isch&client=firefox-a&ved=0CCwQMygAMAA&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=604&page=1&start=0&ndsp=13&biw=1024&bih=639

let’s hope for next Sunday, on TV…;) (have a look to ZDF …!)

Monsignore Simon Castell ist ein Jesuit, der mit Sonderauftrag des Vatikan in der ganzen Welt Kriminalfälle zu lösen hat, die immer in Zusammenhang mit der Kirche stehen. Pater Castell musste deshalb die verschiedensten Fähigkeiten erwerben, wie Flugzeug fliegen, verschlossene Schlösser und Türen öffnen, Selbstverteidigung erlernen und auch Motorräder reparieren.

Sendebegleitend zur 1. Staffel zeigte das ZDF in der sendereigenen Mediathek 4 sogenannte Webisodes, Kurzgeschichten, in denen die Vorgeschichte des Paters erzählt wird, wie er zum Sonderbeauftragten ausgebildet wurde.

Jede Folge umfasst normalerweise 45 Minuten. Der Start der 3. Staffel wurde wegen des umfangreichen Szenariums in einer Doppelfolge mit 90 Minuten gesendet.

This will be news, if you find it!!!!!
