Well, drifting back through this interesting thread I found a snap in post 644 by Saviol, of a S62A with Gulf Air as the operator. A little piece of history of the emerging beginnings of Gulf Helicopters in Doha Qatar. Originally as I believe, in support of the emerging off shore oil and gas development, two S62s operated out of Doha for a number of years, fist operated by Bristow, then by Gulf Air and later Qatar Petroleum under the Gulf Helicopters banner.
After the introduction of the Bell 212 the S62 sat in glorious isolation *and gathering dust at the developing heliport at Doha until sent as scrap to one of the many junk yards outside of town.
A old friend driving around the industrial area a few years ago tells me that he noticed a dilapidated S62 sitting among the wreckage of old and scrapped cars. A part of the local history lost unfortunatly. **
