This helicopter was built on July 26, 1968, and departed from Kazan on August 15, 1968, via. Rjasan - Tula - Wilnius - Warschau and landed at Berlin Schoenefeld, after a 16hrs flight as the 2nd Mi-8T on August 17, 1968. It was registered in East Germany as DM-SPB (2) to Interflug in August 1968. On June 23, 1969, this helicopter was operated in the CSSR for external transport operations when it clipped threes with its main and tail rotor blades after a sudden loss of altitude during a flight near Skebske Pleso. It was repaired and back in service on July 3, 1969. The helicopter had experienced an engine failure during April 1975. The pilot was able to land the helicopter with minor damage near Profen-Nord. This was then re-registered in East Germany by Interflug to DDR-SPB from 1981 till August 1990. The helicopter was again substantially damaged on July 7, 1982, after its right engine had failed during lift-off near Wilhelmshorst. A hard landing was made. Back in service after repair on April 9, 1983. On August 4, 1987, this helicopter was engaged in external transport operations to dismantle a 25-metre metal chimney at Delitzsch. The chimney broke below the part to be lifted off, and thanks to the pilot's skill, the 2 workers on the chimney were able to climb down to safety. The helicopter crew made a controlled landing with no damage to the helicopter. It was then re-registered as DDR-SPB to BSF from September 1, 1990, till October 2, 1990. After the reunification between East and West Germany, this helicopter became re-registered in Germany as D-HOXB by BSF Hubschrauber Dienst GmbH from October 3, 1990, till April 14, 1992, as canceled and PWFU at Schoenefeld. It had received a farewell text on the occasion of it's last flight on April 14, 1992. Moved in April 1992 and preserved with the Aeropark Museum Diepensee at Diepensee near Schoenefeld in Brandenburg till December 1997. This museum in Diepensee was closed due to the aircraft being sold off via VEBEG in 1997 as its investor had moved. In December 1999, this was sold to private near Mannheim. Note that this helicopter is presented with the Sammler und Hobbywelt and later, in August 2008, repainted with fake markings as ZS-RUB and preserved at Alten-Buseck in Germany. It was replaced from its field onto a low concrete pole sometime in 2009 and was noted last in July 2013. This was then transported to Denmark, where it is preserved with the PanzerMuseum East at Slagelse. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
