Silvercross Helicopters in Cape Town have a beautiful EC155B/H155 on their fleet.

EC155B/H155 ZT-RMT

As for the H160's, I believe there are only about 60 airframes that have been built/delivered so far, and with a price tag of >$14m it will be interesting to see if any land up on the ZS- / ZT- Register!
Thanks Captain 💯. Insane that $14m = R244 million 😳
What type of work / charters would such a helicopter get in SA ... and what would the approx hourly rate be ?
Both are good questions, according to google expected operating costs are between $2500-$4000 per flight hour... :shock:
