When Eight Bells Toll

The pseudo RN SAR Widgeon. Also was that Alouette II above owned Film Flight, used as the AAC one used in the same film delivering Phillip Calvert (played by Sir Anthony Hopkins) to the hq at the opening, or was it a genuine AAC Alouette II?
Film Flight are credited here for providing the Aviation Services, so I guess it was one of their Widgeons and one of the Al IIs mentioned somewhere above. Edit: Comparing the photo of the Al II below with that in post 1070, it's G-AWAP.

Caravan to Vaccares
Credited to Helicopter Hire Ltd (so same as above). Graham Hill the F1 driver is credited as playing the helicopter pilot!
