Yep,
Columbia is they only civil owner operator of the Chinook these days they have all the ex British Airways and Helikopter service machines. Columbia have them spread between the western us and asia on heavy lift work, fire fighting.

The MOD has wanted a civil sourced machine to go into the Falklands for some time now to release the RAF machine. Its required to lift 12ton generator sets around the various sites on the Falklands.

Hope the info is of some assistance.
