EI-BJR

As far as im aware there was never a Ferranti connection with this aircraft as during 1980 Denis was operating both Bell 206 EI-AWA and Hughes 500 EI-AVN.

EI-BJR Was only operated by Irish Helicopters (unlike EI-BFK which was operated by them for Vincent O'Brien and occassionally for third party work by IHL)

EI-BJR was dry leased in during July 1980 for an extensive filming task with RTE (the national TV station). The aircraft was retained for Ad-hoc flying in Dublin while EI-BIJ was based in Galway.
EI-BJR was used extensively by the ESB (the national electricity supplier) over a 21 day period from mid September 1980 to early October but was only in limited demand over the winter months.
