Peru buys Dutch AB412 search and rescue helicopters

An agreement has been reached between the Dutch and Peruvian governments on the sale of three Agusta-Bell AB412 SP helicopters.
The helicopters were stationed at Leeuwarden Air Base and at Vlieland and were tasked for search-and-rescue SAR missions, often for the NATO air forces exercise area north of the Netherlands.
The aircraft doubled as air ambulances for islanders in the vicinity and as coastguard assets.
