A footnote regarding the aerial tender for the MY Ilona, the AS355N VP-CLF; this craft tends to remain aboard the vessel and is accommodated below deck in a small 'hangar' which is accessed via a pneumatic lift which operates in much the same way as the aircraft elevators used on some aircraft carriers.
