BAF - Agusta A-109BA Hirundo (H40)

The Agusta A109 is a helicopter manufactured by Agusta (now AgustaWestland) of Italy. The sale of the Agusta A109 to the Belgian armed forces in 1988 gave rise to a bribery scandal when it was alleged the company had given the Belgian Socialists over 50 million Belgian francs to get the sale. This scandal led to the resignation and conviction of NATO Secretary General Willy Claes.
