Australian International Air Show 2015 - Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter (ARH) Tigers

It was a pleasure to sight to a number of Australian Army Aviation (AAAvn) helicopters at the Australian International Air Show 2015, and among them was a handful of Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter (ARH) Tigers.
 
Based on a European design designated EC-665, the Australian Army operates 22 twin-engine, ARH Tigers with 5 units reportedly based at Oakey Army Aviation Centre, Oakey, Queensland for training purposes, while remaining platforms are based at Robertson Barracks, Darwin, Northern Territory as operational units.
