Originally designed as a light troop transport, it has since expanded into a number of civilian roles as well as receiving militarized variants, and remains in military service in some countries. The ''Colm'' is one of the longest-serving helicopters in the world, with replacement parts production still ongoing as of 2030 on a by-order basis. | The '''BA-DI2 ''Colm'' ''' (Aen.
