Hello Felix,
I own PPZUAV (FYI). I may have those modules in stock. I bought some from Digi to test with. How many did you need?
They are more expensive. I need to make them up to cover my costs to get them. Approx 125.00 each. I just haven't listed them on the web store because no one has used them yet to endorse them.

Farnell and Co. don't have the newer versions. But I had a closer look at the different options:
There are currently 4 different kinds of the XBee modules. Always with a PRO (long range) and a standard (low Power) version. Interesting for paparazzi are the PRO versions:
XBee-PRO ZB (the current series) XBee-PRO ZNet 2.5 (formerly Series 2) (only legacy -> use XBee-PRO ZB) The XBee & XBee-PRO ZB share hardware with XBee & XBee-PRO ZNet 2.5. As a result, modules can be "converted" from one platform to another by loading different firmware onto a given module. These two also share the same hardware and can be converted from one to another: XBee-PRO DigiMesh 2.4 XBee-PRO 802.15.4 (formerly Series 1) So this probably solves my issue.... I'll just get a XBee-PRO ZNet 2.5 module and upgrade the firmware to XBee-PRO ZB.
@Buzz: Sorry I can't wait 2 more weeks, I was supposed to get the modules last Monday.... But it's really good to hear your plans for a European Paparazzi supplier!
Another question: Did anyone have any difficulties getting any of the PRO modules in the US Version shipped to Europe? (there are also european versions with a J at the end of the part number, but there the maximum power is limitied by the hardware to 10mW. In order to use the US version with a max of 50mW or so here in Europe one just hast to set the appropriate command to 0 in order to stay within the legal limit in Europe) And has anyone tested the max range of the US version compared to the dialed down 10mW European version?
Cheers, Felix
