This week I've noticed a BIH S61 buzzing in and out of Devonport dockyard.

At the risk of being wrapped in an orange jumpsuit, bundled in a GIV and flown to a Caribbean island is anyone willing to tell me what the S61's been up to?

Many thanks

Not sure. A friend of mine flies for them so I could ask him for you if you like?

That's very kind of you Captain Flynn, but don't go out of your way for me, I'm just a nosy old anorak. :8

The S-61 sometimes puts in a guest appearance to help out the FOST Dauphins either flying out of Culdrose or Plymouth.
FOST is Flag Officer Sea Training if you weren't aware, whose role is to work up to readiness, UK and NATO ships after refit or before deployment
