Milestone Aviation Group, the Dublin-based helicopter lessor, has recently delivered two new AgustaWestland AW109SP Grand New to Italian operator Elilombardia.

Likely for tax reasons, the aircraft were initially registered in their name for a couple of days in mid-July in the Isle of Man, as seen in our photos here.  They were then moved to the Italian register and have now been delivered.  It is expected that both will see service in the air ambulance role.

• Serial number 22245 initially M-ABFN and now I-MYRA
• Serial number 22249 initially M-ABFO and now I-RYMA
