🚁 BELL 47G-2 – F-GDJR
STRAIGHTFORWARD RECOMMISSIONING PROJECT

Few helicopters are as instantly recognisable as the Bell 47.

With its panoramic bubble cabin, exposed lattice tail boom and unmistakable silhouette, the Bell 47 remains one of the most charismatic designs in light helicopter history.

TREGOR AIR SERVICES is pleased to offer F-GDJR, a French-registered Bell 47G-2 presented as a largely complete and straightforward recommissioning project.

The helicopter has been stored indoors and is supplied with an extensive technical documentation package, including detailed airframe, engine and component records.

This is not a major restoration project. The aircraft appears complete and offers a solid basis for a relatively simple return-to-service programme.

F-GDJR represents an attractive opportunity for a collector, specialist operator or Bell 47 enthusiast looking for an accessible classic helicopter project.
