That is indeed a busy time that you had!

Any chance of a photo of ZT-RCM?

Found these via Google search.

Thank you for the update, Wingman. Do you know where ZT-RCM is based?

Great photo's of RCM!

Thank you

I'm not 100% sure but RCM is either based at the National Heliport in Pretoria or at the Johannesburg Airwing at Rand Airport. She is definitely based in Gauteng province.

I've updated Dean's list which was posted in 2010 according to my knowledge and research recently done. Please add or correct me if I'm off track.

These are the current 34 aircraft of the SAPS Airwing: (I'm still researching the whereabouts of all the Gauteng and Eastern Cape-based aircraft.)

Please note that there are two (2) AS 350 B3 registrations added to the list which didn't appear on Dean's list (ZS-RGT and ZS-RNR) and the BK117 C-1 (ZT-RCM)
