This 1980 Bell Agusta Aerospace AB206B3 JetRanger III (registration F-GCVF, serial 8603) presents a well-maintained turbine helicopter with 8,282 total airframe hours and an Allison 250C20J engine showing 8,200 hours (1,110 hours remaining until overhaul). The aircraft features a recently installed Generation Global interior with two-tone grey leather seats and matching dark grey carpets, complemented by an avionics refresh including a Garmin GTX330 transponder, Garmin 350C audio panel, and Trig TT31 radio. Operational enhancements include a rotor brake, tail rotor lock, NightScanner searchlight (collective-mounted for pilot control), range extender, and pneumatic door openers.

The helicopter's versatility and agility make it suitable for diverse missions, while its clean panel layout allows for potential future avionics upgrades. Currently based at EGHF (Fareham, England), this example stands out for its aesthetic presentation and functional upgrades.
