Squirrel HT1In total twenty-eight AS350BA helicopters were allocated
British military registrations, but the two with registra-
tions starting with the ZK-prefix never flew operationally.
The Squirrel HT1 helicopters mainly were used by the DHFS
squadrons at RAF Shawbury. The last two of the serial were
carried as code.
Similar to the Griffin helicopters, most Squirrels were flown
to Bournemouth-Hurn for storage. Several have reappeared
in the British civil register. Some however were sold on the
US civil market.
