Just prior to the Christmas break, UK AgustaWestland distributor Sloane Helicopters delivered a GrandNew from the factory in Italy to a corporate customer. Serial 22325 is flying as G-MUZZ and replaces an AW109 Power G-WELY which the customer bought new from Sloane six years ago. Sloane are marketing the Power for immediate sale, with just 930 hours on the airframe.

The delivery brings the sixth GrandNew onto the British register. Earlier in the year, Sloane imported the first EMS-fit GrandNew into the UK, which they now operate for The Air Ambulance Service.
