I maintained that machine when it was on lease to Lloyd Helicopters Australia was xfered to Bristows Australia for a couple of years then leased to Lloyds then returned to the UK when the ST's were replaced with 332L1's. BKFN (28109)(VH-BEE in Oz), was usualy used as a backup machine as the UK machines were several hundred pounds heavier with all the northsea crap on them than the ST's we had from the US, VH-LHQ (28101) also an ex Caledonian machine had all the UK CAA reqd and north sea gear removed during a refurb and reconfigured to FAA, spec and is still flying with PHI in the States, VH-LHU (28102) is also with PHI, will try and find some photos of the old girls and post them, I liked them a million percent more the the Super Pussies that replaced them.
