Bell 222 - ISHTAR - UNKNOWN

ISHTAR movie (1987) - UNKNOWN


















All we know about this helicopter is the fact the "black & white image" is a photo (not a video still) and that photo once appeared in some form of publication listed as "Air Hanson PLC Gunship"

As such, Air Hanson bought a former "royal oman police" bell 222, they possibly bought both the former royal oman police 222's.  One was 47031, the other was 47041.  You may remember them more when refered to as G-NOIR and G-VOND.

This is no doubt at all one of those two helicopters, at the time of filming it was registered as either G-BNDA  or  G-BNDB. We are positive it was one or the other.

THIS 222 STILL REMAINS UNKNOWN

NOTE:
Someone told me they read in an interview with the G-NOIR owner that this was 47031 that was used. They couldn't remember where they read it so its still up for debate till i see it with my own eyes...  It could still be 47041, until someone can confirm which of the two it really was.. its unknown.
