50th Anniversary of Mauritius
Police Helicopter Squadron
(1974 – 2024)

The 50th Anniversary of the Mauritius Police Helicopter Squadron was a monumental event celebrated with the launch of three commemorative postage stamps. These stamps, featuring the iconic helicopters Chetak|Alouette III, Dhruv (ALH MKIII), and Fennec, pay tribute to the significant role played by the squadron in ensuring the safety and security of the nation for the past half a century.

The Fennec helicopter, renowned for its agility and adaptability, has been a vital asset in the Mauritius Police Helicopter Squadron’s fleet. Its ability to perform a variety of roles, from reconnaissance and surveillance to medical evacuation, has made it an indispensable tool in the squadron’s efforts to keep the community safe and secure. The inclusion of the Fennec on the commemorative stamps honors its role in the squadron’s successful operations over the past 50 years.
