2 are operated for use on behalf of FOST (Flag Officer Sea Trainng). They are used to ferry personnel and light cargo from ship to shore and ship to ship during RN sea training exercises south of the English coast. They are COMR aircraft (Commercially Owned Military Registered) operated under MoD contract (5 yearly terms I think) by British International Helicopters (BIH) out of Plymouth, and using military registration to allow them to be flown under MoD regulation. They replaced RN owned Sea Kings that were used for this task more than ten years ago now.
