This 2012 Leonardo AW109SP GrandNew (registration G-IPGL) presents as a well-equipped VIP-configured twin-engine helicopter with 2,554 total hours on the airframe. Powered by dual Pratt & Whitney PW207C engines, each showing 2,553.9 hours and covered under engine programs, the aircraft features a comprehensive single-pilot IFR avionics suite with dual controls. The panel includes dual EFIS displays with synthetic vision, terrain awareness systems, and dual GPS/FMS units, complemented by a Bendix/King weather radar and Avydine traffic advisory system.

The helicopter boasts a six-seat VIP interior with crash-resistant seating, Bose ANR headsets, and premium soundproofing, along with an 8.4-inch digital map display and enhanced vision system. Notable operational features include a 212.5-gallon crash-resistant fuel system, emergency float provisions, and engine particle separators. Finished in black and grey exterior livery, the aircraft has been hangared in the UK and includes typical loose equipment such as blade tiedowns and engine covers. Its avionics and safety systems, including a 4-axis autopilot and dual redundancy in key instruments, make it suitable for demanding IFR operations.
