Bell 427   msn: 56012

# 012 / The airframe is dumped outside at Lagos, Nigeria. The mainrotor blades have provisionally
been folded, probably to save hangar space. Quite remarkable to see this airframe in this sorry state,
as several agencies in Nigeria, the Custums Service and the National Police, operate the same model.

# 012 / N427PR, arrived as aircargo at Lagos airport, Nigeria.
