Does S.Africa fly the Frelon? or did it come from another country for the show?

@lst1195 The South African Airforce had about 16 Super Frelons and were withdrawn from service in the 1990s. I think this Super Frelon was preserved.

@WesKaap Thanks, I've read up on Neil Ellis & have a lot of respect for S.African chopper pilots.

@WesKaap Something else just dawned on me...why would they retire them? I mean they are FAR from out dated. Just operational costs or something?
Nice .. thanks .. which year and airshow was it ?.
