Penzance heliport

With the projected move of helicopter operations from Penzance to nearby St.Erth, seemingly to help pay for the introduction of replacement helicopters, I wonder what types might be potentially suitable for the Isles of Scilly route. The S-61 has been around for many moons and won't continue indefinitely but the chopper route is important to the Isles - and to tourists.

My son and his wife endured a very rough crossing on the Scillonian to St. Marys last year and an even worse return trip and hence opted for the convenince (and expense) of the helicopter service from Penzance to Tresco and back this year.
